Hand Surgery

The human hand is central to daily life — from basic tasks like eating and dressing to fine motor skills like writing or playing instruments. Hand function relies on a complex system of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, nerves, and soft tissues working in harmony.

Reconstructive hand surgery in Israel addresses conditions affecting the upper limb from the forearm to the fingertips, including traumatic injuries, joint degeneration, nerve disorders, tendon diseases, and congenital deformities. The unit combines microsurgery, arthroscopy, and advanced orthopedic techniques to restore both function and aesthetics.

Patients who require hand surgery abroad are often referred to Ichilov for its international reputation and personalized care. For those seeking hand surgery without waiting, the clinic offers fast-track scheduling and expert-led treatment in a hospital setting with state-of-the-art technology.
