Hand Surgery in Plymouth & Truro

Restore hand and finger function and make your hand look as normal as possible.

Hand Surgery is surgery of the hand, the wrist and the peripheral nerves of the upper limb. It also encompasses reconstructive surgery that improves upper limb function.

If left untreated the nerve can gradually wither causing permanent loss of sensation and wasting of thumb muscles.

Antony assesses and treats patients with various musculoskeletal conditions affecting the hand and wrist including sports injuries and degenerative conditions. Hand surgery aims to restore hand and finger function and make the hand look as normal as possible.

Antony Fitton is proud to be a member of the BSSH.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a nerve compression syndrome where a nerve in your wrist causes pain and numbness in your hand and fingers.
