Hand & Wrist Surgery
The carpel tunnel is a narrow passage that runs between the wrist and hand and contains the median nerve and tendons. These nerves and tendons control the movement and sensation in your fingers, thumb and palm. Carpel Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the nerve is compressed causing numbness, tingling and pain in the hand and forearm. Options for treatment can include rest, ice, wrist splints, cortisone injections or surgery.

Trigger finger occurs when the tendon in a finger becomes inflamed. This causes the finger to bend or straighten with a snap, causing a popping or clicking sensation. Other symptoms include tenderness in the finger and stiffness. Treatment will depend on your symptoms but can include medication, splinting or surgery.

Dupuytren’s contracture develops over years and occurs when the deep tissue within the palm of the hand becomes thick and tight. Knots develop under the skin and eventually form a thick cord that can cause the fingers to remain in a bent position. This can interfere with daily activities. Your surgeon can discuss treatment options with you which might include surgery.
