Abstract
Orthopaedic procedures of the hand and wrist are performed for a wide variety of pathologic conditions. Acute fracture fixation and treatment of fracture complications account for the majority of surgical interventions. Other indications for surgery include management of chronic arthropathy, ligament or tendon injury, soft tissue and bone tumours and infection.
