Hand surgery is a field of plastic surgery. It involves diagnosing and treating a wide array of conditions that affect the hands, wrists, and forearms. From injuries to chronic conditions like arthritis, hand issues can severely impact daily activities, making it essential to seek expert care. At Droitwich Spa Hospital Mr Darren Chester provides hand surgery for a wide range of conditions and whatever you are struggling with, you can discuss the right path forward with Mr Chester.
The Scope of Hand Surgery
Hand surgery covers a wide range of procedures aimed at restoring function, reducing pain and correcting deformities. Some of the most common conditions treated include:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
This is a condition features pressure on the median nerve, leading to pain, numbness and weakness in the hand. Surgery involves releasing the pressure on the nerve to alleviate symptoms.
Dupuytren’s Contracture
A condition where the fingers are pulled inward towards the palm due to thickening of the connective tissue. Surgical treatment releases the tightened tissue which in turn restores finger movement.
Trigger Finger
A condition where a finger gets stuck in a bent position and then snaps straight. Surgery is often the only way to release the affected tendon.
Tendon and Nerve Repair
Injuries to tendons or nerves in the hand require precise surgical intervention to restore function and prevent long-term disability.
Each of these conditions requires a different surgical approach, tailored to the patient’s specific situation. The goal is always to restore as much function as possible while minimising discomfort and recovery time. These are also just some examples of conditions that hand surgery Droitwich Spa Hospital can treat.
