Hand Surgery Requires Special Skills, Knowledge, and Experience

The hand is one of the most important parts of the human body. Only once their function becomes limited, does one realise how often in the day and on which occasions the hands are actually used. Therefore, pain-free functioning of the hands is fundamentally important for the quality of life of the patient.

The hand surgery encompasses all operations which aim to improve the hand function and eliminate discomfort of the hand and the wrist. It is a complex specialist area that has developed from the subfields of trauma surgery and orthopaedics, surgery and plastic surgery. Due to the complex anatomical and functional characteristics of the hand, special knowledge and surgical skills are needed for the correct diagnosis and therapy of injuries and disorders of the hands.
