Understanding Hand Conditions and Injuries Mark J. Warburton, MD, FAOOS, High Point Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine 
- Q: My family practice doctor has referred me to a hand surgeon for a recent injury. Why do I need to see a specialist?
A: The hand is a complicated part of the human anatomy requiring highly specialized treatment of injury, disease or other painful conditions. Whether treatment involves surgery or not, the goal is to minimize pain while improving strength, function and flexibility. You will want an orthopaedic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery in the sub-specialty of Hand Surgery to treat you. - Q: What types of conditions does a hand specialist treat?
A: There are many different types of conditions and injuries that can affect the hands. In my specialized practice I care for patients with trauma injuries including finger and hand fractures, carpal tunnel syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, tendonitis, and trigger finger. - Q: Since hand specialists are surgeons, should I assume that the treatment will involve surgery?
A: While surgery may be recommended, there are many other less invasive treatment options that we may consider before making that decision. From physical therapy to certain medications, splints, exercises and injections, there are many other treatments that can provide effective relief. There have been many advances in this area of medicine, and you may be surprised by the number and type of options available.
