We individualize the treatment plan to your needs to provide the best care possible for you. Our goal is always to provide treatment that balances the fastest recovery possible with our patients’ overall health and wellbeing.
Our most common hand and wrist procedures include:
We approach hand and wrist care with this mindset, customizing our treatment plan to you. Because we believe this is how to provide the best care possible. That’s what you deserve.
We offer:
The hand has a complex structure that allows for a wide range of motion. Its functions include grasp and pinch. The wrist helps us flex and extend the hand and rotate the forearm.
Muscles and tendons control the movement, precision, and power of the hand and wrist. These include:
The sense of touch in your hand comes from two main nerves:
An injury to either your hand or wrist can greatly impact your quality of life. Given that the hand alone consists of 27 bones in addition to muscles, tendons, and nerves, hand injuries are common.
We routinely perform several hand and wrist procedures at The Orthopedic Clinic, including:
We make a small incision to open the pulley at the base of the finger so the tendon can move more freely. This is a minimally-invasive surgery, typically performed as an outpatient procedure. The advantages of our approach include:
A small incision is made at the palm, and the ligament forming the roof of the carpal tunnel is released. This relieves pressure on the median nerve. This is a minimally-invasive surgery, typically performed as an outpatient procedure. The advantages of our approach include:
Reconstruction of the arthritic thumb CMC joint is performed by replacing the trapezium with nearby tendons to create a sling suspension. This is typically performed as an outpatient procedure with regional (block) anesthesia. The advantages of our approach include:
We offer comprehensive trauma care of the upper extremity, including treatment for distal radius and scaphoid fractures and finger fractures and dislocations. Conservative and surgical approaches are utilized, depending on the injury. Our goal is to restore the bony anatomy in order to regain function of the hand and wrist.
Our surgical approach is specific to the tendons involved in the condition. Conditions may include lateral epicondylitis, or De Quervain’s tenosynovitis at the wrist. Surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. The advantages of our approach include:
Management of Dupuytren contracture is aimed at regaining hand function rather than curing the disease. Non-surgical options include Xiaflex injections, performed in the clinic. We also perform subtotal palmar fasciectomy. This is the surgical removal of the palmar fascia, which causes the contracture. We tailor our treatment plan to the patient’s needs.
In this procedure, we remove the ganglion cyst as well as part of the joint capsule or tendon sheath because this is considered the origin of the ganglion. This is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. Cysts in the fingers can be excised with a local anesthetic. The advantages of our approach include:
We insert a small camera into the wrist joint to evaluate and treat conditions such as ligament tears, fractures, an synovitis. This is a minimally-invasive surgery, typically performed as an outpatient procedure. The advantages of our approach include:
