Hand Surgery

Hand surgery is a medical procedure to fix problems with the hand, wrist, or fingers, often caused by injury, arthritis, or congenital issues. It’s done to restore movement, reduce pain, and improve functionality. Common reasons include fractures, tendon injuries, nerve damage, or conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome.

During surgery, a specialist may realign bones, repair tendons, or relieve nerve pressure using techniques that range from minimally invasive to more complex open surgery. Depending on the type of surgery, it may involve local or general anesthesia, and the recovery process typically includes physical therapy to regain strength and movement.
