  2. Our hands are the two main organs that help us carry out routine activities. If one or both hands is completely numb, it is possible to successfully treat impairment of the hands with hand surgery. Hand surgery allows an individual to bounce back to life because it is a treatment method based on the principle of orthopedics and plastic surgery. The hand is composed of different tissues and bones, therefore, the treatment methods to mitigate inflammation are also different. The different types of hand surgery are congenital hand surgery, trauma surgery, reconstructive surgery, and repairing the degeneration of joints and nerves. Common Types Of Hand Surgery The types of hand surgery that can help treat hand pain include: Carpal Tunnel Release: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition in which a person experiences numbness and tingling sensations in the fingers and thumb. The main reason behind this condition is excessive pressure on the median nerve. Surgery can relieve the pain as it releases pressure on the nerve by splitting the carpal tunnel ligament while the patient's hand is under the effect of local anesthetics.

  3. Dupuytren's Contracture Fasciectomy: Dupuytren's Contracture arises when a knot of tissue forms under the skin of the palm. The condition can be relatively painless during the initial stages, but can result in skin nodules that pull the tendons of the fingers tight, causing the fingers to curl inward. In the surgical procedure, these knotty tissues are removed to release the extra pressure on the fingers. Trigger Finger Release: Trigger finger is a condition in which the fingers can bend normally but are stuck when it comes to curling. The tendon that supports the curling has thickened and this is one of the main reasons for this tormenting condition. Local injections can treat the condition but if the problem has reached the advanced stages, then surgery remains the only way out. In surgery, the tunnel of the hand is opened to remove the tendon in order to fix the impairment.
