Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions does a hand surgeon treat?
Hand surgeons treat conditions involving the bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, nerves and soft tissues of the hand and wrist.
Do all hand fractures require surgery?
No. Many fractures can be treated with immobilisation or other non-surgical methods. Surgery may be required for significantly displaced, unstable or complex fractures.
Can tendon injuries be repaired?
Selected tendon injuries can be surgically repaired. Early assessment is important because delayed treatment can affect functional recovery.
Can nerve injuries in the hand be treated?
Depending on the injury, treatment may involve observation, rehabilitation, direct nerve repair, nerve grafting or other reconstructive procedures.
When should I see a hand surgeon after an accident?
Seek assessment for persistent pain, swelling, deformity, loss of movement, numbness, weakness or difficulty using the hand after an injury.
Can hand surgery restore normal movement?
Surgery may restore or improve function in selected conditions, but the outcome depends on the severity of the injury, timing of treatment and rehabilitation.
How long does recovery take after hand surgery?
Recovery varies depending on the procedure and injury. Physiotherapy and hand rehabilitation may be required for several weeks or longer.
