What Hand Surgery Can Treat
Hand surgery can treat a number of issues, including:
Carpal tunnel syndrome: This condition is caused by pressure to the median nerve in the wrist, or carpal tunnel. Patients may feel a tingling sensation, pain, or numbness in the fingers.
Rheumatoid arthritis: This disease can cause severe inflammation in any joint of the body, including the hand, which can impair movement.
Dupuytren’s contracture: This disabling hand disorder causes thick, scar-like tissue bands to form within the palm. This can cause restricted hand and finger movement.
