Introduction

Your hands play a vital role in your daily life — from gripping objects to expressing emotion. When pain, injury, or deformity affects hand function, it can significantly impact your quality of life. At Hand Elbow Shoulder Solutions (HESS), we specialize in hand surgery to restore movement, relieve pain, and improve your overall hand health.


What Is Hand Surgery?

Hand surgery refers to a wide range of surgical procedures used to treat diseases, injuries, and deformities of the hand and fingers. These procedures are performed by orthopedic surgeons who specialize in upper extremity conditions.

At HESS, our hand surgeries are performed by Brig. (R) Prof. Dr. Khalid Masood, one of Pakistan’s most experienced upper limb surgeons, with international training and recognition in advanced hand and microsurgery.


Common Hand Conditions We Treat

Our team is experienced in diagnosing and treating a wide variety of hand problems, including:

✅ Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Caused by pressure on the median nerve, this condition leads to numbness, tingling, and pain. We offer carpal tunnel release surgery for long-term relief.

✅ Trigger Finger

This condition causes one or more fingers to lock or catch during movement. We perform trigger finger release to restore normal tendon movement.

✅ Hand Fractures

Broken bones in the hand can severely affect function. Our hand fracture fixation procedures ensure proper alignment and healing.

✅ Tendon & Nerve Injuries

Accidents or trauma can damage vital tendons and nerves. We provide tendon and nerve repair to restore motion and sensation.

✅ Ganglion Cysts

Fluid-filled lumps that develop around joints or tendons can be removed through ganglion cyst removal.

✅ Arthritis and Deformities

We offer joint reconstruction and other procedures to treat deformities and relieve pain caused by rheumatoid or osteoarthritis.


Types of Hand Surgery We Offer

Depending on the condition, we provide both minimally invasive and open surgical procedures, such as:

  • Carpal Tunnel Release
  • Tendon Transfer and Repair
  • Nerve Repair (including microsurgery)
  • Fracture Fixation (using pins, plates, or screws)
  • Joint Reconstruction or Fusion
  • Cyst Excision
  • Congenital Deformity Correction

What to Expect During Recovery

Recovery from hand surgery depends on the type of procedure and the severity of the condition. In most cases:

  • You may wear a splint or brace to immobilize the hand
  • Physical therapy may be required to regain motion and strength
  • Full recovery can take a few weeks to several months

Our team provides personalized post-operative care and rehabilitation plans to ensure the best outcomes.
