Pediatric Hand Surgery
Pediatric Hand Surgery is a specialized area of medicine focused on treating hand and wrist conditions in children. It addresses congenital issues, injuries, and diseases that affect the function and appearance of a child's hands. Surgeons use advanced techniques to correct problems, repair injuries, or improve hand function, ensuring that children's hands develop properly as they grow. This field is important because children’s hands are still growing, and early intervention can lead to better long-term outcomes in dexterity and hand health. Overall, it aims to enhance quality of life and support a child’s growth and development.
