Surgery

Carpal tunnel is a safe and effective treatment option for patients who have persistent pain and dysfunction of their hand due to carpal syndrome that does not respond to splinting, therapy, or injections.

A pinched “funny bone” is no laughing matter! Sometimes the Ulnar Nerve (often referred to as the “funny bone’ as it runs behind your elbow) can become trapped or kinked if the elbow is hyper flexed during activities or sleep.

De Quervain’s is a painful tendon entrapment condition that affects the thumb side of the wrist. Surgery can be performed to alleviate the compression and provide relief. This can be done under local anesthetic (with no sedation), or with moderate sedation or a general anesthetic.

Repair of the tendons that bend and straighten our fingers require specialty surgical training, and careful rehabilitation with the supervision of a certified hand therapist. Tendons that are repaired on the flexor, or palm side of the hand, require early motion with careful therapy guidance to avoid stiffness but allow time for the tendon to heal.
