Problems with the
hand,
wrist,
elbow, and
shoulder require specialized care because of the intricate network of blood vessels and nerves, as well as the delicate balance of muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
With our hands, we are able to grasp and manipulate objects, allowing us to write, play an instrument, type on a keyboard and perform countless other tasks. Our hands also contain a significant number of nerve endings that give us the sense of touch. Hand and wrist injuries and hand disorders can cause pain, loss of sensation, loss of movement, and impaired function. A problem in the hand or wrist must be dealt with very carefully because of all the delicate structures and functions involved.
Shoulder and elbow pain are extremely common complaints that may result from many causes, including arthritis and overuse injuries. Because we use our arms for so many common activities, shoulder and elbow pain can cause significant problems.
Hand surgery is a very specific field of medicine and requires a highly trained expert. A qualified hand surgeon has received a full year of specialized training above and beyond that of board-certified orthopaedic surgery, cosmetic surgery, or general surgery. At
