Hand Surgery

---

A hand surgeon is a doctor specialized in the diagnosis, treatment, and surgery of diseases and injuries affecting the hand and wrist. Hand surgeons treat a wide range of pathologies, from fractures and dislocations to degenerative disorders and chronic diseases of the hand and wrist. 

Their main goal is to restore hand function and relieve pain, allowing patients to return to daily activities and improve their quality of life. 

Hand fractures are bone injuries that affect the bones of the hand. They can be the result of acute trauma or bone wear and degeneration. Treatment varies depending on the severity of the fracture and may include immobilization with a cast or splint, closed or open reduction, and surgery with internal or external fixation. 

 "Traumatic hand" refers to injuries that affect the soft tissues and bones of the hand. They can be the result of acute trauma or wear and degeneration. Treatment varies depending on the severity of the injury and may include immobilization with a splint or bandage, physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgery. 

 Wrist arthroscopy is a surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat injuries and conditions in the wrist. It consists of inserting a small camera through a small incision in the skin to view the inside of the joint. The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia and may include the repair or removal of damaged tissue. 

Endoscopic carpal tunnel release is a surgical procedure used to treat carpal tunnel syndrome. It consists of inserting a small camera through a small incision in the wrist to cut the ligament that compresses the median nerve. This relieves the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, such as pain and numbness in the hand and fingers.
