What Is Hand Surgery?
What Conditions Does Hand Surgery Treat?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
This condition occurs when the median nerve is compressed in the wrist, causing pain, numbness, and weakness. Treatment options may include splints, medication, injections, or surgery.
Trigger Finger
Trigger finger causes the fingers to lock or catch during movement. It may lead to pain and limited mobility. Treatment is planned according to the severity of the condition.
Congenital Hand Anomalies
Congenital deformities such as fused fingers, extra fingers, or hand malformations can be corrected with surgical and rehabilitation methods.
De Quervain’s Tendinitis
This tendon disorder causes pain and tenderness around the thumb and is common in individuals who frequently use their hands. Treatment may include rest, supportive devices, or surgery.
Ganglion Cysts
Ganglion cysts are fluid-filled lumps commonly seen around the hand and wrist. They may cause discomfort and movement limitation. Surgical treatment may be required in some cases.
Traumatic Injuries
Hand surgery also treats fractures, cuts, tendon injuries, nerve damage, crush injuries, and amputations requiring emergency intervention. Advanced microsurgical techniques can be used for reattachment procedures.
Rheumatic Diseases
Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis affecting the hand joints can be treated surgically to reduce pain and improve hand function.
Infections and Tumors
Hand and wrist infections, as well as benign or malignant tumors, are treated with appropriate surgical procedures.
Tendon, Nerve, and Vascular Injuries
Early diagnosis and surgical treatment are critical for injuries affecting tendons, nerves, and blood vessels. Rehabilitation programs support recovery after treatment.
