Hand surgery addresses a wide range of conditions affecting the bones, tendons, nerves, and joints of the hand and fingers to restore function and reduce pain.
Indicated for fractures, tendon lacerations, nerve injuries, trigger finger, Dupuytren contracture, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other hand conditions requiring surgical treatment.
Performed under local or regional anesthesia depending on the procedure. Most hand surgeries are performed as outpatient procedures. A splint is applied postoperatively and hand therapy begins within days to weeks.
Risks include stiffness, nerve injury, infection, tendon adhesions, and incomplete functional recovery.
