What is a hand surgeon?

A hand surgeon is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing, treating, and performing surgery on conditions affecting the hand, wrist, and sometimes the forearm. These specialists are trained in both surgical and non-surgical techniques to address injuries, diseases, and deformities. Hand surgeons often treat issues such as carpal tunnel syndrome, fractures, arthritis, tendon injuries, and nerve problems. They work closely with other healthcare professionals, including physical therapists, to help patients regain function and reduce pain.
