Hand & Wrist Surgery

The hand consists of 27 bones – eight bones in the wrist (carpals), five bones in the palm of your hand (metacarpals), and 14 bones in the fingers (phalanges). Every bone and tendon plays an important part in the movement of your hand. When a hand injury occurs, seeking hand and wrist surgery options is crucial to alleviate pain and increase function.
