The hands play an essential role in our daily lives. They allow us to grasp, feel, and perform precise movements. Injuries or diseases affecting the hand can significantly reduce the quality of life.
Hand surgery treats conditions and injuries of the upper extremities (shoulder, upper arm, forearm, hand, fingers, thumb). In addition to surgical interventions, we also offer conservative treatment options, such as splinting, physical therapies, and injections, to provide lasting relief. Our specialists work interdisciplinarily with experts from other fields to ensure a holistic and gentle treatment approach. For long-term therapeutic success, complex and consistent follow-up treatment with occupational therapy is of utmost importance.
Our goal is to provide you with an individually tailored treatment of the highest standard to restore hand function as effectively as possible.
