Hand Surgery
Services and Procedures
What is hand surgery and what hand conditions can be treated?
The medical specialty of hand surgery involves conditions of the wrist, hand and upper extremities (forearm). Hand surgeons provide treatment that is both non-surgical and surgical. These medical specialists see patients with carpal tunnel, trigger finger, tendon, fracture, arthritis, and other issues, on a daily basis.
Mild and severe hand conditions can affect your quality of life and ability to perform at work. Non-surgical treatments such as splints, therapy, injections, or medication may assist in alleviating or controlling the condition.
The hand is a delicate, finely tuned part of the body, composed of bone, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, skin, and blood vessels. If any part of the structure is impaired by injury or disease and not functioning properly, prompt medical intervention is beneficial.
