Our hands are important tools that help us interact with the world around us. We use them to earn a living, to participate in sports and hobbies, and to care for ourselves and our families. When our hands become disabled, our lives are affected in many ways.
The team of specialists who performs hand surgery at the University of Michigan Health is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for a variety of hand problems.
