- Lifestyle Modifications: Suggestions for ergonomic adjustments and activity changes to help prevent injury and manage symptoms.
Surgical Treatment Options:
When non-surgical treatments do not provide sufficient relief, we offer advanced surgical treatments for various hand and wrist conditions:
- Carpal Tunnel Release: A procedure to relieve pressure on the median nerve in the wrist, providing relief from carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms.
- Trigger Finger Release: Surgery to release the tendon that is stuck in a bent position, allowing the finger to straighten.
- Tendon Repair or Reconstruction: If tendons are ruptured or damaged, surgery may be needed to repair or reconstruct them to restore function.
- Fracture Fixation: For broken bones in the hand, wrist, or fingers, surgery may be required to stabilize the bones using plates, screws, or pins.
- Arthroplasty (Joint Replacement, Nerve Repair, Elbow Replacement, Joint Reconstruction): For patients with severe arthritis in the hand or wrist, joint replacement may be recommended to relieve pain and improve function.
- Wrist Fusion (Arthrodesis): In cases of severe arthritis or injury, wrist fusion may be performed to permanently fuse the wrist bones and eliminate pain.
- Ganglion Cyst Removal: Surgical removal of a ganglion cyst, which is a fluid-filled lump that forms near joints or tendons in the hand or wrist.
