Ticino Welcome - The healing hand
Dr. Ivan Tami, Specialist in Orthopedic and Traumatological Surgery of the Musculoskeletal System and Specialist in Hand Surgery, works at the Gravesano Hand and Elbow Center, which is the Ars Medica Clinic (Swiss Medical Network) reference center in Ticino for various elbow, wrist, and hand disorders.
What exactly is meant by hand surgery?
"Hand surgery is a decidedly cross-disciplinary field. It deals not only with bones and joints, but also with tendons, muscles, nerves that provide sensitivity and movement, the vascular system—i.e., arteries and veins—and finally soft tissues, such as the skin and tissues that protect deep structures. In this sense, it is a synthesis of several specialties: orthopedics, reconstructive plastic surgery, vascular surgery, and neurosurgery of the peripheral nervous system."
