Carpal Tunnel Syndrome De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis Fractures Infections Thumb Arthritis Trigger Finger Other Hand & Wrist Conditions

Carpal tunnel syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome commonly occurs when the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, becomes compressed or irritated. This can lead to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand, particularly in the:

Thumb
Index
Middle
Half of the ring finger

At HSA, we offer various treatment options, including conservative approaches and surgical intervention, to relieve the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome and restore hand function.

De Quervain's tenosynovitis

De Quervain's tenosynovitis is a condition that involves inflammation of the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist. This can result in pain and swelling in the wrist and thumb, making it difficult to perform everyday activities. Our specialists at HSA can diagnose and treat De Quervain's tenosynovitis with conservative treatments, such as splinting and medication, or with minimally invasive procedures, if necessary.

Fractures

Fractures in the hand or wrist can occur due to traumatic injuries, such as:

Falls
Direct impact
Sports accidents

Prompt and accurate diagnosis is crucial to ensure proper healing and prevent complications. Our skilled surgeons at HSA are experienced in treating various types of hand and wrist fractures, using advanced techniques to stabilize the bones and promote optimal recovery.

Infections

Hand and wrist infections can arise from various sources, including:

Open wounds
Insect bites
Foreign bodies

Prompt treatment is essential to prevent the spread of infection and protect the surrounding tissues. Our specialists are skilled in diagnosing and managing hand and wrist infections, providing effective treatment plans to address the specific condition and promote healing.

Thumb arthritis

Thumb arthritis is characterized by cartilage degeneration at the base of the thumb joint, resulting in pain, swelling, and limited mobility. At HSA, our experts offer various treatment options, from conservative measures to surgical interventions, to alleviate symptoms and improve thumb function.

Trigger finger

A trigger finger is a condition in which one of the fingers or the thumb gets stuck in a bent position and then suddenly snaps straight. It occurs when the tendons in the finger become inflamed or thickened. Our specialists can diagnose and treat trigger fingers using non-surgical methods or surgical release procedures to improve finger movement and alleviate discomfort.

Dupuytren's contracture

Dupuytren's contracture is a condition that causes the connective tissue (fascia) in the palm to thicken, leading to the formation of nodules and cords that can cause the fingers to bend inward. This condition can progressively limit hand function and impact daily activities. At HSA, our specialists are experienced in diagnosing and treating Dupuytren's contracture. We offer a range of treatment options, including non-surgical therapies and minimally invasive procedures, such as collagenase injection and needle aponeurotomy, to release the contracted cords and restore finger mobility.
