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.
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.
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.
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.

Dr. Wolfe performed my carpal tunnel release and the results were immediate. Numbness that had plagued me for years was gone when I woke up. His technique is impeccable.
I had a complex scaphoid fracture nonunion that two other surgeons said was untreatable. Dr. Wolfe fixed it with a bone graft and my wrist is now fully functional. He is simply the best in the world at what he does.
Dr. Wolfe treated my Dupuytren's contracture. He explained all options clearly — needle aponeurotomy vs open surgery — and recommended the best approach for my case. My hand is straight again.
Had trigger finger surgery with Dr. Wolfe. In and out in under an hour. Full motion restored within 2 weeks. His reputation is well-deserved.
Brilliant surgeon. My wrist fusion was complex but Dr. Wolfe handled it perfectly. The wait for an appointment was long but HSS is worth it for a case like mine.
