Hand
Anatomy and function
The hand is a very complex system of bones, joints, ligaments and tendons, which enables the fine work of the fingers.
A malfunction of this system can lead to significant functional restrictions. In addition to post-traumatic conditions, we also address rheumatic, degenerative or developmental conditions.
The most common surgical procedures include axis correction, motion loosening, stabilization of joints, reconstruction of tendons, and treatment of degenerative changes (osteoarthritis or rheumatism) with arthroplasty or fusion.
Conditions and injuries
The bones, joints, ligaments and tendons of the hand work together. A disruption can considerably affect fine finger movements. Causes include injuries, wear, rheumatic disease and developmental changes.
- Injury-related hand conditions
- Rheumatic and degenerative joint conditions
- Finger alignment problems and unstable joints
- Tendon damage and restricted movement
Treatment options
Surgical options include correcting finger alignment, releasing restricted movement, stabilising joints and reconstructing tendons. Joint replacement or fusion may be considered for degenerative joint changes. These procedures address different causes of impaired hand function; the choice depends on the individual findings.
