Hand Surgery

The hands are complex structures that feature many small bones, connective tissues, and nerves that work together to facilitate motion and perform tasks. Because of this, a disorder or injury that affects one or both of your hands may require specialized care. But, is hand surgery necessary?

Do I Need Hand Surgery?

It’s important to note that only a physician can determine if you require hand surgery. However, some common scenarios where hand surgery may be appropriate include:

  • Treating carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Relieving severe wrist pain and stiffness
  • Addressing a cut, laceration, or sports injury to a hand or finger

Many patients are able to find relief from painful conditions or injuries with nonsurgical measures like physical therapy, immobilization, and occupational therapy. Be sure to consult with an orthopedic doctor if you have a hand condition that is not responding to conservative treatments.
