Orthopedics Hand and Wrist

The number of ways that we can get into difficulty with our hands, wrists and fingers is probably too high to even hazard a guess. After all, in the hand alone there are: 29 bones, 29 joints, 123 ligaments, 34 muscles and 48 nerves – what could go wrong?

Injuries, unexplained or unresolved pain, tremors, abnormal growths to the hand, wrist and fingers are just a few of the conditions that bring patients into our offices. With the help and guidance of our hand, wrist and finger specialists, conservative treatment often resolves the concerns.

Surgical Expertise at Your Fingertips

We provide treatment of the entire spectrum of hand and wrist ailments. From simple solutions like carpal tunnel or trigger finger release to complex fractures and reconstructions of the hand, wrist, or fingers, when you are in our care, you are in expert hands. Our surgeons are skilled in a combination of techniques, such as orthopedic surgery, microsurgery, vascular and plastic surgery.

Hand, Wrist and Finger Pain Conditions We Treat

Some of the hand, wrist and finger conditions that we treat include the following:

• Wrist pain — repetitive stress, wrist arthritis, wrist movement problems
• Wrist accidents — broken, fractured, or sprained wrist, wrist ligament tears
• Hand pain — carpal tunnel syndrome, pulled hand muscles, hand arthritis, hand weakness, numb hands, stiff hands, hand tendonitis, hand tremors
• Hand accidents — broken, fractured, or sprained hand, sharp object injuries
• Finger pain — trigger finger, tingling fingers, finger arthritis, stiff/swollen fingers, finger weakness, bent fingers
• Finger accidents — dislocated fingers, nailbed injuries, sprained thumb, broken/fractured fingers, baseball finger, severed fingers

When conservative measures don’t resolve the issues, more advanced procedures and treatments are needed to get you back to an active life free of pain with fully functioning, hands, wrists and fingers. Accidents can also happen that immediately put you in need of more advanced procedures. Degeneration over time that defies the help of prolonged efforts with conservative measures may also mean that advanced procedures are finally necessary.

Advanced Hand, Wrist and Finger Pain Procedures

• Carpal Tunnel Release
• Trigger Finger Release
• Distal Radius Fracture Fixation & Treatment - Wrist

Seeking professional medical help from a hand, wrist or finger specialist early in the process can pay significant dividends for you, as a patient. A few of those dividends include improved recovery time, training in preventive measures and spotting ancillary issues. If you have unresolved problems or an accident involving your hand, wrist or fingers that isn’t responding to at-home treatment, we encourage you to make an appointment today. Making an appointment sooner rather than later can help prevent more serious problems later.
