Common questions

Hand Surgery FAQs

If you have persistent hand pain, numbness, stiffness, or a fracture that hasn't healed properly, it's time to consult a hand specialist.

Not always. Many conditions are managed with medication, splints, or physiotherapy — surgery is recommended only when it's genuinely needed.

It depends on the procedure. Minor surgeries may heal in 2–3 weeks, while complex repairs can take a few months alongside physiotherapy.
