Hi,

Growth disturbances occurring after an injury in growing age occurs as a result of injury to the growth plate(part of bone responsible for growth). As you have now passed the growing age, there is no further increase in differential sizes of your hands. Management of such variations is need based. We have to ascertain the reason for which treatment needs to be done. There is no treatment which would be done only to increase the size of your left hand, such treatment is neither warranted nor required and even not possible.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
