Hand Surgery

The hand consists of a complex arrangement of tendon, muscle, nerve, bone and soft tissue that work together as a functional unit. Given the amount and kind of use our hands are submitted to on a daily basis it is not surprising that hand problems frequently occur. These problems can arise from trauma, repetitive use injuries and developmental deformities.

I didn’t know that plastic surgeons did hand surgery?

All plastic surgeons undergo intensive training in hand surgery.  Some plastic surgeons choose not to do hand surgery in their practice for a variety of reasons.

Dr. Yates completed an additional fellowship in microsurgery which makes him particularly equipped to skillfully tackle the small intricate details important in hand surgery.

A few common surgical hand problems include:

Hand fracture repair

Tendon injury repair

Trigger finger release

Carpal tunnel syndrome

Ganglion cyst excision

Hand arthritis treatment

Nerve injury repair

Nerve compression release

Dupytren’s contracture excision
