Conditions we treat

• Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS): Pain, numbness and tingling from compression of the median nerve inside the wrist. Causes include genetics, anatomy, medical conditions and certain activities. Treatments range from activity changes and wrist splints to injections and, for some, surgery.
• Hand and wrist arthritis: Wear or damage to joint cartilage from disease (e.g., osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis) or prior injury, often causing pain, swelling and stiffness. Treatment may include medications, splinting, injections or joint replacement when needed.
• Trigger finger (stenosing tenosynovitis): A finger that catches or locks in a bent position with painful clicking on straightening.
• Ganglion cysts: Noncancerous lumps around the wrist or hand—managed by draining or surgical removal depending on location and severity.
• Flexor tendon lacerations: Cuts to the hand, wrist or forearm that can make it difficult to bend the fingers.
• Brachial plexus injuries: Nerve injuries that affect signals controlling arm and hand movement—severity varies from minor (often seen in contact sports) to complex.
• Hand pain and complex injuries: Comprehensive evaluation and individualized treatment plans.

Treatment options

Nonsurgical care

• Activity modifications and therapy to reduce symptoms and improve function.
• Splinting and wrist braces to support joints and decrease nerve compression.
• Medications (e.g., anti-inflammatories; oral steroids in select cases) to relieve pain and swelling.
• Injections (e.g., cortisone) to reduce inflammation and provide longer-term relief, when appropriate.

Surgical care

• Carpal tunnel release (open or endoscopic) to relieve pressure on the median nerve—newer, less invasive techniques may promote faster recovery.
• Joint replacement for advanced hand or wrist arthritis when nonsurgical options are no longer effective; your surgeon will discuss whether it’s right for you.
