Hand surgery is a recognised subspecialty in Singapore dealing with conditions of the hand, wrist, forearm and peripheral nerves — from carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger to complex trauma, tendon injuries and microsurgical reconstruction.
Hand surgeons treat carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, de Quervain's tenosynovitis, ganglion cysts, wrist fractures and sprains, tendon and nerve injuries, arthritis of the hand and wrist, and complex hand trauma. Many also perform reconstructive microsurgery.
Most private hand surgeons accept direct bookings, though insurers often require a referral letter for claims. Public hospital hand departments usually require a polyclinic or GP referral.
Hand surgery is a distinct subspecialty. Hand surgeons train specifically in the hand, wrist and peripheral nerves, and may come from orthopaedic, plastic or general surgery backgrounds.
Carpal tunnel release is usually a short day-surgery procedure, often under local anaesthesia. Your surgeon will advise based on severity.
