Hand Surgery

Conditions we treat:

1. Carpal Tunnel
2. Ganglion Cysts
3. Trigger fingers

What is Carpal Tunnel:

A numbness and tingling in the hand and arm caused by a pinched nerve in the wrist.

Wrist anatomy, underlying health conditions, and patterns of hand use can contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome.

Key symptoms are pain in the hand and arm with numbness or tingling.

Treatment may include rest, ice, wrist splints, cortisone injections, and surgery.

What is trigger finger:

A condition in which a finger bends, gets stuck and then snaps straight.

Trigger finger occurs when the cover over the cord that links muscles to bone becomes swollen and irritated. The cord, also known as a tendon, then can't move smoothly. Those most at risk include women, people with diabetes or arthritis, and people whose activities strain their hands.

Symptoms might get worse over time. Besides finger locking, symptoms include stiffness, a feeling of popping or clicking when the finger moves, and soreness in the affected finger. The condition is usually worse in the morning.

Treatment includes wearing a splint, taking medicine as a pill, cream or patch, and surgery.

Ganglion Cyst:

A noncancerous lump, often on the tendons or joints of the wrists and hands.

A ganglion cyst is a noncancerous lump, often on the tendons or joints of the wrists and hands. The condition can interfere with joint movement.

A ganglion cyst is typically round or oval, and small. It can be painful if it presses a nerve.

A ganglion cyst often clears on its own. If troublesome, it can be drained or removed.
