Hand fracture surgery realigns and stabilises broken bones to restore strength and hand function. Many people seek treatment when pain, deformity or difficulty using the hand affects daily tasks. The aim is to allow the bone to heal in the correct position so movement and grip feel predictable again.

The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthetic with sedation or a light general anaesthetic. Movement exercises begin early to prevent stiffness, and most people return to light activities quickly.

Risks include infection, stiffness, delayed healing or discomfort around metalwork if used. These issues are uncommon. You will receive clear guidance and follow-up support so you understand each stage of recovery.
