Due to the number of bones in human hands, hand surgery requires a specialized skill and expertise. Treatment is focused on alleviating pain and disability in the upper extremity as a result of common hand problems, such as:

• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Trigger finger
• Ganglion cysts
• Arthritis
• Fractures and broken bones
• Tendon and ligament injuries

In addition, surgeons perform more complex procedures including wrist arthroscopy, finger joint replacements and rheumatoid arthritis surgeries.
