Coronavirus update: All suitable consultations at Melbourne Hand Surgery are now conducted via telehealth (phone or video consultation). Emergency and urgent surgery is currently being conducted in hospitals and we anticipate a return to full elective surgery services from 31 July, in line with Victorian Government directives on the staged recommencement of elective surgery. We are applying the same timing to the recommencement of elective rooms procedures. Finger, hand and wrist joint dislocations
