At the clinic we perform hand surgery procedures that help patients recover and improve their quality of
life when they experience conditions including connective tissue disorders and nerve compression syndromes.
Even minor conditions or deficits can contribute to a deterioration in patient fitness and
mobility. The hand is a very complex organ with an intricate anatomical structure, so even minor
microtraumas can cause discomfort, inflammation and, consequently, pain. Progressive dysfunctions within
the range of hand function can over time develop into problems with gripping objects or restricted hand
mobility.
Some causes of hand conditions have a rheumatological or genetic basis, but they
increasingly also affect athletes (tennis players, golfers) and manual workers (including those doing
office work at a computer). They also frequently arise from various injuries, past illnesses, or lifestyle
habits (e.g. gaming consoles, excessive mobile phone use) — effectively preventing normal functioning and
hampering professional work. In such cases, a hand surgery procedure is often the only and best solution.
Hand surgery — indications:
Difficulty bending and straightening fingers, flexion contractures, loss of grip, inability to clench the hand into a fist, and blocked movement are just some of the problems that hand surgery procedures can effectively resolve. It is worth remembering that some conditions should be treated as soon as possible, while the functional impairment is still reversible.
Each hand surgery condition requires a consultation and the development of a treatment plan. There is no doubt that these procedures can effectively improve patients' quality of life and restore physical fitness.
