- Artificial Finger Joint Replacement
-
- Arthritis develops when the cartilage wears-out, resulting in pain, stiffness and inflammation in the joints. It can affect any joint in the body, but the most commonly affected joints are the small joints of the fingers.
-
- Wrist Joint Replacement
-
- Wrist joint replacement surgery, also referred to as total wrist arthroplasty, involves the replacement of a severe arthritic wrist joint with an artificial joint made of metal and plastic components. It relieves pain and restores function when conservative treatment fails to provide relief.
-
- Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery
-
- If conservative treatment options fail to resolve the condition your surgeon may recommend a surgical procedure. Carpal tunnel syndrome can be treated with carpal tunnel release surgery.
-
- Wrist Ligament Reconstruction
-
- Surgical treatment in the form of wrist ligament reconstruction may be indicated in cases where the wrist ligament is completely torn. The ligament will usually need to be reconstructed when ligament damage is noted after a period of 6 months or more after the initial injury.
-
- Hand Fracture Surgery
-
- The most common symptoms of a hand fracture include severe pain, swelling, bruising or bleeding, deformity and discoloration of the skin, and limited mobility of the hand.
-
- Finger Joint Fusion
-
- Finger dislocation is a condition in which the bone of your finger has moved away from its normal position.
-
- Total Wrist Arthrodesis
-
- Arthrodesis is the surgical immobilization of a joint by the fusion of the adjacent bones. Total wrist arthrodesis, also known as wrist fusion, is a surgical procedure in which the wrist joint is stabilized or immobilized by fusing the forearm bone (radius) with the small bones of the wrist.
-
- Wrist Arthroscopy
-
- Wrist arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to view, diagnose and treat problems of your wrist joint.
-
- Wrist Fracture Fixation
-
- Wrist fracture fixation may be performed by surgical or non-surgical methods depending on the severity of the fracture.
-
- Sports Injury Management of Hand, Wrist & Elbow
-
- Sports injuries are injuries that most commonly occur during sports and exercises. These injuries may result from accidents, poor training practices, and use of improper protective gear, lack of conditioning, and insufficient warm-up and stretching.
-
- Nerve Transfers
-
- A nerve transfer is a surgical procedure in which a portion of a healthy nerve is transferred to the site of a damaged nerve. This procedure is performed to restore normal function at the injured site.
-
- Nerve Decompression of the Upper Extremities
-
- Nerve decompression of the upper extremities, also called peripheral nerve decompression, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure employed to relieve pressure on an entrapped or pinched nerve (neuroma) for the treatment of conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome, the two most common nerve compression syndromes.
-
- Peripheral Nerve Repair
-
- The peripheral nerves are the nerve fibers that compose the area from head to toe, connecting the brain and spinal cord with the rest of the body parts. Nerves transmit electrical impulses and signals to and from the brain. Peripheral nervous system disorders interrupt the transmission of signals and weaken the sensory and motor nerve functions.
-
- Elective Emergency Hand Surgery
-
- Hand surgery is performed to restore the structure and functionality of the fingers, wrist and hand secondary to a traumatic injury, medical condition, severe infection, or birth defect causing pain and/or deformity of the hand. It is performed by trained and certified plastic surgeons.
-
- Microvascular Surgery
-
- Microvascular surgery or microsurgery is a surgical technique for joining or repairing the damaged blood vessels and nerves during reconstructive surgery of body parts. Reconstructive surgery restores the functioning of the body parts by improving circulation.
-
- Finger Joint Implant
-
- A finger joint implant is an artificial joint made of metal, plastic, or pyrocarbon components that are used to replace a severely arthritic or injured finger joint. Finger implant surgery is a motion-preserving alternative to finger joint fusion surgery.
-
- Thumb Joint Implant
-
- A thumb joint implant is an artificial joint made of metal or pyrocarbon components that are used to replace a severely arthritic or injured joint located at the base of the thumb. Thumb implant surgery is a motion-preserving alternative to thumb joint fusion surgery.
-
- Distal Radioulnar Joint Arthroscopy
-
- The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is a pivot type synovial joint located between the radius and the ulna just proximal to the wrist joint and assists in pronation and supination of the forearm.
-
- Surgery for Thumb & Digit Arthritis
-
- Arthritis is an inflammatory condition of the joints. There are several types of arthritis; the most common type is osteoarthritis or wear-and-tear arthritis that affects the joint at the base of the thumb. Thumb arthritis is more common in women than men, and usually occurs after the age of 40 years. Arthritis of the fingers causes swelling, pain, stiffness and malformation, all of which interfere with the use of the hand.
-
- Non-Surgical Treatment of Hand & Wrist
-
- The hand is one of the most flexible and useful parts of our body that enable us to perform many of our daily activities. The hands and wrists are prone to injuries or certain orthopedic conditions and can range from minor cuts or burns to severe arthritis or injuries of nerves, bones, and tendons.
