Hand surgery treats conditions affecting the bones, joints, tendons, nerves and soft tissues of the hand and wrist. This includes injury, nerve compression, degenerative conditions and reconstructive procedures aimed at restoring movement, strength and sensation.

Many hand conditions can be managed without surgery through splinting, injections and hand therapy. Surgery is considered when symptoms persist, function is compromised or structural repair is required. Procedures are tailored to the condition being treated and the demands placed on the hand.

Because the hand is a highly specialised structure, surgery often involves fine instruments and magnification, followed by structured rehabilitation. This approach helps maximise recovery and long-term function.
