Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions require a hand surgeon?

Hand surgeons manage a wide range of conditions affecting the hand, wrist, fingers, tendons, nerves, and upper limb, using surgical or non-surgical treatment depending on the diagnosis.

Can sports injuries be treated without surgery?

Many sports injuries respond well to rehabilitation and conservative treatment. Surgery is recommended only when clinically indicated.

What is microsurgery?

Microsurgery involves the use of specialised instruments and magnification to repair delicate structures such as nerves, tendons, and blood vessels.

How long is recovery after hand surgery?

Recovery depends on the condition treated, the procedure performed, and adherence to rehabilitation. Your surgeon will discuss an individualized recovery plan.

Why is physiotherapy important after upper limb surgery?

Physiotherapy and hand therapy help restore movement, strength, coordination, and function after surgery or injury.

Can numbness in the hand indicate nerve compression?

Yes. Symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or weakness may be associated with nerve compression or other neurological or orthopaedic conditions that require clinical evaluation.
