Hand surgery offers pain relief and increased freedom of movement to people living with carpal tunnel syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis.

It can also correct birth defects in which one or more fingers may be attached, bent or otherwise disfigured.

Hand surgery is also performed to restore appearance, feeling and function to injured hands.

Advances in this area of medicine include grafting, flap surgery and transplantation which make it possible to restore a significant amount of function to people with even the most severe injuries.
