Our
hands serve many purposes. Hands help us eat, dress, write, earn a
living, create art, and do many other activities. To do these
activities, our hands require sensation and movement, such as joint
motion, tendon gliding, and muscle contraction. When a problem takes
place in the hand, care must be given to all the different types of
tissues that make function of the hand possible.
Hand surgery is the field of medicine that deals with problems of the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow and sometimes shoulder. Hand surgeons care for these problems with and without surgery. They are specially trained to operate when necessary. Because many hand surgeons devote most of their time to examining, treating and studying the hand, they are specialists in hand care.
If you have pain in your fingers, hand, wrist or arm, or have other upper-extremity related concerns, you may want to consult a hand surgeon.
