Problems with the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder require specialized care because of the intricate network of blood vessels and nerves, as well as the delicate balance of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. A qualified hand surgeon has received a full year of specialized training above and beyond that of Board-Certified orthopedic surgery, cosmetic surgery, or general surgery. Hand surgeons are eligible for membership in the American Society for Surgery of the Hand after successfully completing the additional training and passing the rigorous hand certification examination.
