Meet our hand surgery specialists
Hand surgery requires special expertise
Hand surgery is a surgical specialty. Due to the delicate structure and function of the hand and wrist, examining and treating these areas requires specialized knowledge. Treatment methods may include medication, surgical intervention, splinting or supports, and physiotherapy or occupational therapy.
Visiting a hand surgeon
When you come to Orton for a hand surgeon consultation, a treatment plan will be created for you. This includes any necessary imaging and other examinations, potential surgical treatment and/or physiotherapy or occupational therapy, as well as supports and medications. Through the outpatient clinic, you can receive any required statements, e.g., for insurance companies.
Surgical treatment
Some hand conditions may require surgery. Most hand surgeries can be performed as day surgery. The inpatient ward also allows for larger procedures and rehabilitation periods.
At Orton, hand surgeons, hand therapists, the outpatient clinic, surgical unit, and inpatient ward are all under one roof and work closely together. This collaboration ensures smooth and high-quality care from start to finish.
Rehabilitation
Orton’s physiotherapists and occupational therapists specialize in rehabilitation of the hand. Rehabilitation may begin after surgery or even if surgery is not needed. With the guidance of an occupational therapist, recurrence of the condition is prevented with aids and supports that reduce strain.
Our partner Soleus has a good selection of splints and assistive devices.
