Abstract

Hand surgery is a highly specialized field that focuses on treating hand and upper extremity conditions, which can be challenging due to the complex anatomy and biomechanics of the hand. Patient-specific treatment is essential in hand surgery, as each patient has unique anatomical, physiological, and psychological factors that must be considered when planning and executing surgical interventions. Advances in technology and surgical techniques have enabled hand surgeons to offer more personalized treatment options to their patients, such as 3D-printed implants and minimally invasive procedures. Additionally, hand therapists play an essential role in post-operative care, providing individualized rehabilitation programs to optimize the patient’s functional recovery. By tailoring treatment plans to the patient’s unique needs, hand surgeons can achieve better outcomes and improve the patient’s quality of life.
