What Is Hand Surgery?
Hand surgery is a specialized surgical field at the intersection of Orthopaedics & Traumatology and Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. It addresses diseases, injuries and functional loss of the upper extremity — including the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, arm and shoulder. The complex anatomy of the upper extremity requires bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, nerves and vessels to be evaluated as a whole.
The primary goal is not only to treat disease or injury, but also to preserve or restore motion, strength, sensation and function of the hand and upper extremity as fully as possible. Care therefore relies on detailed clinical assessment, advanced imaging and, when needed, specialized techniques such as microsurgery and arthroscopic surgery.
