A hand and wrist clinic is a specialist medical service that diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the hands, wrists and fingers. Clinics are typically led by experienced hand specialists and wrist specialists who assess injuries, nerve problems, tendon disorders and joint conditions that affect movement and function.
Hand and wrist clinics assess a wide range of problems, including fractures, ligament injuries, tendon damage, nerve compression such as carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis and sports-related injuries.
Hand surgery or wrist surgery may be recommended when symptoms do not improve with non-surgical treatment such as splints, medication or therapy. Surgical procedures are used to repair damaged tendons, treat nerve compression, stabilise fractures or restore joint function.
Treatment is usually provided by trained consultants, such as a hand specialist or wrist specialist, with expertise in diagnosing and treating complex conditions. These specialists may provide non-surgical care or perform procedures such as surgery, depending on the patient’s diagnosis and treatment needs.
