Hand, Wrist, and Forearm Injuries

Finger and Limb Amputations

Hand, finger, forearm, arm, foot, and leg amputations are among the areas of interest in hand surgery. Repair of limb amputations depends on many factors. How and in what way the amputation occurred is perhaps the most important of these factors.

Arterial, Tendon, and Nerve Injuries

Vascular cuts are one of the causes of bleeding. There is also a risk of tissue death as a result. In addition to vascular cuts, cuts to nerves that transmit movement commands and sensations, and cuts to tendons that transmit muscle power to bones, enabling movement, are also treated surgically with this technique.

Fractures and Dislocations

All fractures in the upper extremity fall under the scope of hand surgery. These include fractures and dislocations of the hand, wrist, forearm, and elbow, ligament tears, and humerus fractures. These conditions are treated with hand surgery and microsurgery.

Nerve and Tendon Compressions

With the advancement of technology and the widespread use of computers, nerve and tendon compressions are frequently occurring due to excessive computer use. Nerve compressions usually manifest with symptoms such as numbness, pain, and weakness in the hand. The most common type of nerve compression is carpal tunnel syndrome. Both early and late-stage treatments for nerve compressions fall within the purview of the hand surgery department.
