How Does Hand Surgery Work?

Hand surgery is a specialized procedure tailored to the specific condition being treated. It begins with a thorough evaluation to determine the best approach. Depending on the issue, the surgery may involve repairing tendons, nerves, bones, or soft tissues. For conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, the surgeon may release pressure on the median nerve, while in cases of fractures, bone alignment and stabilization are performed. The surgery is often done under local or general anesthesia, and may involve minimally invasive techniques to reduce recovery time. Post-surgery, rehabilitation may be required to regain full functionality and strength in the hand.

Who is Hand Surgery For?

Individuals with hand or wrist injuries.
Patients suffering from conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis.
Those with congenital hand deformities.
People experiencing chronic hand pain.

Post-Procedure Care

After hand surgery, it's crucial to follow your surgeon’s instructions. This includes keeping the hand elevated, using prescribed medications for pain, and attending physical therapy sessions to ensure a full recovery.
