The Duke Division of Hand Surgery brings together expert faculty from surgery, plastic surgery, and orthopaedic surgery to form a cohesive team, delivering exceptional care to patients in need of hand and upper extremity surgical treatments.
The Division of Hand Surgery offers exceptional care for a wide range of conditions, from common issues such as arthritis, fractures, and cysts to complex challenges like reattaching hands, fingers, and thumbs after amputation. Our specialists also provide expert treatment for wrist pain, injuries, and sports-related conditions.
Duke's plastic surgery hand experts lead the way in innovative procedures, including reattaching amputated hands, fingers, and thumbs, as well as utilizing microsurgical techniques to repair damaged nerves and arteries.
