Procedures

Procedures Offered

Carpal Tunnel Trigger Finger Wrist Fusion Dupuytren's

Carpal Tunnel Surgery

Carpal tunnel release surgery cuts the transverse carpal ligament to relieve pressure on the median nerve. The procedure treats numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand caused by carpal tunnel syndrome. It can be performed open or endoscopically with a 90-95% success rate.

Success rate: 90-95% | Recovery: 2-6 weeks | Outpatient: Yes | Return to work: 1-6 weeks

Wrist Fusion

Wrist fusion (arthrodesis) permanently joins the wrist bones to eliminate painful motion in a severely arthritic or damaged wrist. While it eliminates wrist bending, it provides excellent pain relief and grip strength. Partial fusions preserve some motion.

Pain relief: 90%+ | Recovery: 8-12 weeks in cast | Grip strength: Excellent | Alternative: Wrist replacement

Trigger Finger Surgery

Trigger finger release surgery widens the tendon sheath so the flexor tendon can glide smoothly again. The condition causes catching, locking, or painful snapping. A simple outpatient surgery provides permanent relief in 10-20 minutes under local anesthesia.

Success rate: 95%+ | Recovery: 2-4 weeks | Procedure time: 10-20 minutes | Anesthesia: Local

Dupuytren's Surgery

Dupuytren's surgery treats the progressive tightening of palm tissue that pulls fingers into a bent position. Options range from needle aponeurotomy to open fasciectomy depending on severity and patient preference.

Recurrence rate: 20-50% over 5 years | Recovery: 2-6 weeks | Options: Needle, injection, or surgery
