What it is

Most hand and wrist issues can be alleviated through non-surgical approaches including rest, immobilizing the area with splints or braces, medication, or through therapy. If hand or wrist surgery is the right option, your surgical team will explain the procedure, help you prepare for your procedure and give you a roadmap for recovery.

Good for treating

Some of the most common causes of hand and wrist pain include: 

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Compressive neuropathy 
  • Sports injuries 
  • Injuries involving cut tendons, nerves and ligaments 
  • Fractures 
  • Traumatic amputations 
  • De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis 
  • Infections 
  • Trigger finger/thumb 
  • Ganglion cysts (abnormal swelling on a tendon’s membrane or coming from a joint) 
  • Lacerations  
  • Overuse syndromes 
  • Osteoarthritis
