Hand and microsurgery is a relatively new speciality. The St James hospital has developed a 24 hour state-of-the-art facility for comprehensive care of hand conditions and for microsurgery. This is one of the very few dedicated centers for treating hand conditions and for microsurgery in the country.

The hand is a unique area of the human body that is made up of bone, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, skin, and blood vessels. These elements must all be in good working order for the hand to function well. The relationship between all these structures is delicate and refined. An injury or disease can affect any or all of these structures and impair the use of the hand.

To many of us hand may look like a simple structure of our body. But for a blind man they form the eyes; they help him read, for a mute person they form the tongue. For a normal person they help to eat, dress, write, create art, earn a living and do many other activities. To perform such actions hand needs movements and sensation. Co ordinate movements of joints, tendons and muscles along with good nerve function is essential to achieve this. Any disturbance in function of any of the structure can impair the quality of hand function. The impairment can range from constant pain to inability to perform any action. So when a problem occurs to the hand, care is needed to assess each structure and determine the cause of it . Hand surgeons are specifically trained to provide that care.
