HAND AND WRIST PROCEDURES
-
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (Open)
Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome experience numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hand. Open carpal tunnel release involves a small incision in the palm to relieve pressure on the median nerve, improving function and reducing symptoms.
-
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (Endoscopic)
Endoscopic carpal tunnel release is a minimally invasive option for relieving pressure on the median nerve. Through a small incision and the use of a camera, symptoms like numbness and hand weakness can be improved with a faster recovery.
-
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
Patients with cubital tunnel syndrome often feel tingling or numbness in the ring and little fingers. Surgery relieves pressure on the ulnar nerve at the elbow, improving sensation and hand strength.
-
Dupuytren's Contracture/Disease
Patients with Dupuytren’s contracture notice their fingers gradually curling into the palm. Treatment removes or releases thickened tissue in the hand to improve finger extension and function.
-
Hand Rejuvenation
Patients seeking hand rejuvenation are often concerned about visible veins, wrinkles, or volume loss. Treatments such as fat grafting or fillers restore volume and improve the appearance of aging hands.
-
Hand and Wrist Arthritis
Patients with arthritis in the hand or wrist often report stiffness, swelling, and joint pain. Treatment ranges from joint-sparing procedures to reconstruction or fusion to reduce pain and restore movement.
-
Hand and Wrist Cysts & Masses
Patients with cysts or masses in the hand or wrist may notice a visible bump or discomfort. Surgical removal provides relief, confirms diagnosis, and helps prevent recurrence.
-
Hand and Wrist Dislocations & Fractures
Trauma to the hand or wrist can result in fractures or dislocations, leading to pain and limited movement. Surgical or nonsurgical treatment restores alignment and supports long-term function.
-
Hand and Wrist Nerve Injury
Nerve injuries in the hand or wrist can cause numbness, weakness, or loss of movement. Nerve repair or grafting can help restore sensation and motor function depending on the severity of the injury.
-
Hand and Wrist Skin Cancer
Patients with suspicious lesions or growths on the hand or wrist may require removal of skin cancer. Reconstruction is often performed at the same time to preserve both appearance and function.
-
Hand and Wrist Tendon Injury
Tendon injuries in the hand or wrist can lead to difficulty with finger or wrist motion. Surgical repair or tendon reconstruction helps restore strength and range of motion.
-
Nail and Nailbed Injury
Injuries to the nail or nailbed can result from crush or sharp trauma. Repair often involves delicate reconstruction to restore nail growth and appearance.
-
Trigger Finger
Patients with trigger finger feel catching, locking, or pain when bending a finger. A simple surgical release of the tendon sheath allows for smooth, pain-free finger motion.
