Hand & Wrist
Hand and Wrist Surgery in St. Peters, O'Fallon & Wentzville, MO
Your hands and wrists are amazing, unique structures. They allow you to grasp and manipulate objects and perform countless daily activities that most people take for granted. They are also quite intricate, containing many small bones (27 to be exact); a network of ligaments, tendons, and muscles; and a web of blood vessels and nerve endings responsible for your sense of touch.
Arthritis in Hand Treatment
Because your hands are in constant motion – reaching, grasping, carrying, and releasing – they are vulnerable to injury. Repetitive stress or overuse injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis, are among the most common. Your hands can also be affected by normal wear and tear on the joints, resulting in arthritis. Sometimes problems can arise from other medical conditions such as diabetes or pregnancy.
The hands also offer a certain amount of protection to your body, such as shielding you from potentially dangerous objects or helping to break a fall. Due to this protective action, the bones of the hand and wrist are fractured quite often. In addition to these dangers, the hands are susceptible to cuts, abrasions, and burns that can cause damage and lead to infection.
