Hand surgery is a field that helps patients with a variety of health issues involving the hands. This can include both surgical and non-surgical care. These doctors treat conditions that present not only in the hands but also the arms. These conditions may include infections, abrasions, injuries, and arthritis. Surgeons trained in orthopedic surgery, general surgery, and even plastic surgery are all qualified to perform surgeries on the hands or provide other treatment for this area.

A Physician Assistant is a medical professional who works with a team of other doctors to diagnose and treat a variety of illnesses and health disorders. They are legally licensed to practice medicine, though they do not go through the same rigorous schooling as doctors. However, these professionals are more than able to help patients with most medical conditions, and they work alongside doctors to ensure they can give adequate care to their patients.
