The field of hand and wrist surgery has developed into a specialty of its own as a result of tremendous progress in the understanding of the anatomy and biomechanics. There have also been significant advances in our understanding of the conditions affecting it.
Movements of the hand and wrist are integral to many activities of daily living, work, hobbies and sports. The functional activities of tendons, muscles, nerves, blood vessels and the joints are intricately connected and finely balanced. These structures are covered by highly specialised skin which not only provides protection but also is crucial to grip and sensory perception. Any change in one of the structures is therefore likely to affect the hand as a whole.
The elbow is one of the most complex joints in our body. It helps in the ability to position the hand for activity. Conditions around the elbow may cause symptoms and in the wrist and hand (eg. pins and needles or numbness). The function of the hand and wrist (eg. grip) may also be affected. Elbow disorders are often related to over-use or sporting activities.
