Hand Surgeon

Hand surgeons or a hand specialist can diagnose, investigate and treat issues of problems of the forearm, wrist and hand with and without surgery. Some of these include carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, trigger finger and wrist pain. Hand surgeons are specially trained to operate and open up the hand when necessary. Many hand surgeons have also acquired expertise in the diagnosis, treatment and management of shoulder and elbow problems.

Many of these conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome are characterized by symptoms such as constant unremitting pain, tingling sensation on the finger, inability to flex or stretch the forearm. Arthroscopy is an important part of diagnosis of these conditions.
