Hand and wrist surgery involves conservative surgical procedures that are performed to restore or improve function and mobility of the upper limbs, which may have been affected as a result of injury or certain musculoskeletal disorders. The procedures are performed by an orthopedic surgeon and include a tailor-made minimally invasive treatment and recovery plan.

Common Hand and Wrist Injuries and Conditions

• Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: This occurs when the ulnar nerve becomes compressed in the elbow. The ulnar descends to the fingers from the middle of the forearm.
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: The condition occurs when the median nerve which runs through the center of the hand becomes compressed in the wrist.
• Tendonitis of the Hand, Wrist, Elbow and Shoulder: Occurs due to inflammation and irritations of the tendons. The tendons serve as a link between muscles and bones.
