Carpal Tunnel Release
Carpal tunnel release is a surgical procedure used to treat carpal tunnel syndrome, a disorder that gets worse over time. The goal of this treatment is to relieve pressure on the median nerve by cutting a ligament at the roof of the tunnel.
Trigger Finger Release
Trigger finger release is a surgical treatment used to treat trigger finger. Surgery is not always necessary to treat trigger finger, but may be used based on how much pain or loss of function you have in the finger.
ORIF
Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) treatments may be used when a fracture is open, meaning it needs surgery to be put back into alignment. Small devices, such as pins, screws, or wire, may be used to help keep bones in place as they heal.
Closed Reduction
Fractures can usually be treated without surgery. With a closed reduction treatment, your doctor will gently put your broken bone back in place. You will get a brace, splint, or cast to hold your finger straight and prevent further injury.
Brace
Fractures can usually be treated without surgery. With a closed reduction treatment, your doctor will gently put your broken bone back in place. You will get a brace, splint, or cast to hold your finger straight and prevent further injury.
Casting (including waterproof)
If you fracture a bone, you may receive a cast to protect your finger from additional injury while it heals. Casts and splints hold bones in place while they heal, reducing pain, swelling and muscle spasm.
Non-surgical Treatments
A variety of non-surgical treatments exist for treating hand and wrist conditions, and we believe in pursuing non-invasive treatments whenever possible. While some orthopedic conditions necessitate surgery, and while many safe and effective surgical treatments exist, many patients are able to make a full recovery without it. Some non-surgical treatments include braces and casts for fractures, injections to reduce inflammation and improve joint function, and physical therapy to remediate impairment and promote mobility and function. We view every patient as a distinct individual with unique needs – schedule an appointment to meet with our team of physicians and discuss what treatment options are best for you.
