Introduction

As a hand surgeon, I deal with congenital, traumatic, degenerative, inflammatory, and neoplastic diseases of the hand and wrist—with the aim of restoring hand function for both grasping and touching. My special interest is wrist surgery, which is a rapidly developing field in recent years and in which I continuously educate myself.
