- Hand
Surgeons treat tumors of the hand (which
are usually benign), ganglion cysts,
finger contractures, birth defects such
as webbed fingers, degenerative conditions
such as carpal tunnel syndrome, and
hand trauma. Hand trauma is common,
and surgery includes repair of bones,
tendons, nerves, and grafting of burns.
Outpatient surgery is common for hand
problems, and physical and occupational
therapists help complete the recovery.
