Our expert team provides exceptional care to patients of all ages, addressing a wide variety of hand and wrist issues.
Advanced Treatment for Hand and Wrist Conditions
Your hands and wrists are crucial to daily activities. When injuries or conditions affect their function, expert care is essential. Rothman Orthopaedics specializes in treating:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A common condition caused by nerve compression in the wrist, leading to pain, tingling, and numbness. Treatment may include physical therapy or carpal tunnel release surgery for severe or resistant cases.
- Trigger Finger: This condition causes pain, stiffness, and a locking sensation in the fingers. Conservative treatments are usually effective, but surgery (tenosynovectomy) may be necessary for recurrent or severe cases.
- Wrist Tendonitis: Caused by overuse, resulting in swelling and pain. Treatment involves rest, medication, and steroid injections. Surgery may be considered for chronic cases.
- Finger Dislocations: Often caused by trauma, these injuries are usually treated with closed reduction. Surgery is reserved for cases where stability cannot be restored non-surgically.
- Hand Fractures: These injuries account for a significant portion of fractures. Depending on severity, they may be treated with casting or surgical realignment.
We also treat conditions such as Dupuytren’s contracture, ganglion cysts, arthritis, mallet finger, wrist fractures, and sprains.
