Wrist Surgery

The hand gives us the ability to grip and feel so we can explore the world around us, feed and dress, communicate with others, write, use tools, and the list continues. The wrist links the hand to the arm and, with the other joints of the upper limb, it allows movement of the hand around the body.

Hand and wrist pain can result from a number of factors including fractures (bone injury), ligament and tendon problems (soft tissue injury), and degeneration due to previous injury, manual work, inflammatory conditions and/or aging. Impairment of wrist and hand function can have a major impact on daily activities.
