YOUR CURRENT COMPLAINTS
Where does the problem begin?
The hand is a complex anatomical structure in which bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, muscles, and nerves work together. Numbness, pain, swelling, loss of strength, or restricted movement can originate from various tissues.
For proper treatment, it is necessary to evaluate not only the specific site of the complaint but also the wrist, the elbow, and—when necessary—the entire upper extremity.

HAND DISEASES
Common Illnesses and Injuries
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Do you wake up at night with numb hands?
-
Compression of the median nerve at the wrist can result in numbness, tingling, pain, and, in later stages, loss of strength.
Trigger Finger
Does your finger catch or lock during movement?
-
Compression of the tendon that moves the finger within its sheath can cause catching and painful locking during movement.
Dupuytren's Disease
Are your fingers gradually curling toward your palm?
-
Thickening and shortening of the tissue in the palm can lead to one or more fingers being unable to fully straighten over time.
TRAUMA AND OTHER HAND PROBLEMS
From Common Diseases to Complex Injuries.
Hand disorders do not consist solely of problems that develop over time. Trauma, tendon and nerve injuries, joint damage, masses, and congenital anomalies can also affect the hand's movement and its function in daily life.
01
Hand and Finger Fractures
Fractures and dislocations resulting from falls, impacts, or crushing injuries can be treated using surgical or non-surgical methods, depending on the location and nature of the injury.
02
Tendon Injuries
Partial or complete injuries to the tendons that enable finger movement can occur as a result of lacerations, trauma, or overuse.
03
Nerve Injuries
Injury to the nerves responsible for sensation and movement in the hand can lead to numbness, loss of sensation, weakness, and a loss of finger movement.
04
Osteoarthritis of the Thumb Base Joint
Osteoarthritis developing at the joint where the thumb connects to the hand can cause pain during movements such as gripping, squeezing, and turning a key.
05
Hand and Finger Masses
Cysts, as well as benign or malignant bone and soft-tissue masses occurring in the hands and fingers, are evaluated based on their characteristics, and a treatment plan is formulated.
06
Congenital Hand Anomalies
Congenital differences affecting the development of the fingers and hand are evaluated based on the child’s age, hand function, and the characteristics of the anomaly.
Surgery: For the Right Patient, at the Right Time.
Not every problem involving the hand, wrist, elbow, or shoulder requires surgery.
Treatment is planned by collectively evaluating the source of the problem, the patient’s age, occupation, activity level, and expectations, as well as the characteristics of the condition.
In cases where non-surgical methods are insufficient or the injury requires immediate surgery, the appropriate method for the patient and the specific problem is determined.
