Hand surgery is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on treating injuries, conditions, and deformities of the hand, wrist, and forearm. Hand surgeons are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, including fractures, nerve damage, arthritis, tendon injuries, and congenital abnormalities. They use both surgical and non-surgical techniques to restore function, alleviate pain, and improve the aesthetics of the hand and wrist. Hand surgery is often performed in conjunction with other medical specialties, such as orthopedics, plastic surgery, and neurology, to provide comprehensive care for patients with complex hand and upper extremity conditions.
