Hand surgery can be as exotic and involved as a full transplant, or as commonplace as repairing torn tendons. Whatever kind of hand surgery is required, you want to find an experienced orthopedic hand surgeon to do the job for you.
A great variety of injuries may require surgery down the line, including repetitive stress, fractures, sprains and traumatic blows. This last case applies to the recent news that a Major League Baseball player will undergo surgery following an excruciating injury that bent his entire hand back at an odd angle following a diving catch.
But this tweet from the team tells you everything you need to know about this kind of procedure:
Tampa Bay Rays centerfielder Kevin Kiermaier will have left hand surgery on Tuesday, the team announced.
He is expected to miss 8–10 weeks with the injury.
Once again, we see a short timeline for recovery from a major surgical procedure. It is yet more evidence that sports medicine and orthopedic surgery have advanced by leaps and bounds in the last generation, creating opportunities through minimally invasive surgery that never existed before.
