Hand Surgery

We specialize in treating conditions affecting the bones, nerves, and tendons of the upper limb, particularly the hand. Our service is equipped to promptly handle all cases of hand trauma, employing the most advanced microsurgical techniques.

Diagnosis

Accurate diagnosis, supported by instrumental examinations, is essential to determine the need for surgery. These examinations include:

• CT Scan
• MRI
• Ultrasound
• Electromyography

Fractures

• Wrist Fractures (radius and ulna): Among the most common fractures, treated with modern low-profile anatomical plates or percutaneous elastic systems that do not require incision.

• Scaphoid Fractures: These subtle fractures require a range of osteosynthesis techniques and specific expertise to ensure complete healing.
