Hand Conditions and Surgery
The hand is a very complex organ with multiple joints, different types of ligaments, tendons, and nerves. Hand conditions may affect bones, muscles, tendons, or other tissues of the hand. These conditions could also be congenital (present at birth) or may develop later in life because of the trauma, or other causes.
Intricate in design and function, any injury to the underlying structures of the hand carries the potential risk of serious deformity. In such a case, hand surgery is an option given by the doctors so as to repair injuries. The entire team of Dr. Prashanth S. takes care of the total spectrum of all hand-related problems from simple to complex as well as rare to common issues.
We are having an excellent team of microsurgical expertise, meaning that they can repair or move body parts as needed after a major injury or reconstructive surgery.
