Hand & Wrist Services We Offer

Carpal tunnel release

This procedure designed to alleviate pressure on the median nerve by cutting the ligament that forms the roof of the carpal tunnel. This intervention aims to widen the tunnel and reduce compression on the nerve, thereby relieving symptoms and improving hand function.

Scaphoid Fracture Fixation

Scaphoid fracture fixation surgery involves stabilizing the fractured bone with internal fixation devices such as screws, pins, or plates. The goal of this procedure is to realign the bone fragments, promote healing, and restore wrist function. Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF): In this traditional approach, a small incision is made in the wrist, allowing the surgeon to directly access the fractured scaphoid. The bone fragments are then realigned, and specialized implants, such as screws or plates, are used to hold the bone in place while it heals. Percutaneous Screw Fixation: This minimally invasive technique involves making small incisions or using a needle to insert screws across the fracture site, without the need for a large surgical exposure.

Base of Thumb Fixation

In this surgical procedure, an incision made over the base of the thumb. The fractured bone fragments are realigned to their proper position. Fixation methods, such as pins, screws, wires, or plates are used to stabilize the fracture and promote proper healing.

Flexor Tendon Repair

This procedure involves carefully reattaching the torn tendon to its original insertion point on the bone or using grafts to bridge the gap if necessary. During the surgery, the surgeon makes small incisions to access the damaged tendon and repair it using specialized techniques and materials. In some cases, additional procedures such as tendon transfers or tenolysis (removal of scartissue) may be performed  to optimize outcomes.

Extensor Tendon Repair

The surgeon will make a precise incision over the injured area to access the damaged tendon. The damaged or severed ends of the tendon are carefully identified and stitched back together using specialized sutures or techniques.After surgery, your hand and wrist may be placed in a splint or cast to protect the repaired tendon and promote healing.

Wrist Fusion

Wrist fusion surgery, also known as arthrodesis, is a procedure aimed at stabilizing the wrist joint by fusing the bones together. This is typically recommended when other treatment options, such as medication, physical therapy, or less invasive surgeries, have failed to provide relief from wrist pain or instability. During the surgery, the surgeon removes any damaged cartilage and then secures the bones of the wrist together using metal plates, screws, or rods. Over time, these bones fuse together, creating a solid, stable joint.

Ganglion Excision

It is typically performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. The surgeon makes a small incision over the ganglion cyst. The cyst and its associated stalk, if present, are carefully dissected and removed from the surrounding tissues. Recovery from ganglion excision surgery is typicallyrelatively quick, with most individuals able to resume light activities within a few days.

De Quervain's Release

This procedure aimed at relieving the pressure on the affected tendons by enlarging the tendon sheath tunnel. The surgeon will make a small incision on the side of your wrist and then carefully cut open the constricted tendon sheath, allowing more room for the tendons to move freely without causing pain or irritation.

Trigger Finger/Thumb Release

Local anesthesia will be administered to numb the hand and wrist, ensuring you feels no pain during the procedure. Your surgeon will make a small incision at the base of the affected finger/thumb or in the palm, depending on the location of the problematic tendon. The tight portion of the flexor tendon sheath is carefully cut to create more space for the tendon to move freely.
