Introduction
Hand injuries are extremely common, especially among people who work with machinery, tools, sharp objects, or in active environments. Even a small cut on the hand can damage tendons, nerves, or joints—leading to pain, stiffness, and loss of movement. If not treated on time, hand injuries can cause long-term disability. This is why proper and timely hand injury treatment from a qualified specialist is crucial.
Prof. Dr. Kamran Khalid, one of Pakistan’s leading plastic, reconstructive, and hand microsurgeons, offers expert treatment for all types of hand injuries at Ittefaq Hospital, Lahore. His specialized skills in tendon repair, nerve repair, microsurgery, and complex trauma reconstruction make him one of the most trusted names in hand surgery across Punjab.
What Is a Hand Injury?
A hand injury involves damage to tendons, nerves, bones, joints, or soft tissues. Even a small cut on the hand may affect movement or sensation if a tendon or nerve is involved.
Common types of hand injuries include:
- Tendon cuts (flexor or extensor tendons)
- Nerve injuries causing numbness or weakness
- Finger or hand fractures
- Crush injuries from machines
- Deep cuts from glass or sharp objects
- Burns or contractures
- Sports-related hand injuries
Why Timely Hand Injury Treatment Is Important
If hand injuries are not treated quickly and correctly, they can lead to:
- Permanent stiffness
- Loss of grip strength
- Chronic pain
- Finger deformity
- Decreased hand function
- Long-term disability
With timely treatment from a hand specialist, most injuries can be completely repaired and full movement can be restored.
