Carpal Tunnel and Cubital Tunnel Decompression

Carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel decompression are surgical procedures aimed at relieving pressure on the nerves in the wrist and elbow, respectively. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, becomes compressed, which causes symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. Cubital tunnel syndrome, on the other hand, involves compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow, which results in similar symptoms radiating into the hand and fingers. 

At Orthopaedic and Hand Surgery Partners, we offer comprehensive treatment options for these conditions, including decompression surgery. During the procedure, the constricted ligaments or structures compressing the nerves are carefully released to alleviate pressure and restore normal nerve function. This minimally invasive approach is designed to relieve symptoms, improve hand and wrist function, and enhance the overall quality of life for individuals affected by carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel syndromes. Our experienced surgeons utilise advanced techniques to help patients return to their daily activities with reduced pain and improved hand function.

Repair of Tendon Injuries and Tendon Grafting

Tendon injuries can occur due to overuse, trauma, or degenerative conditions, which may lead to pain, weakness, and limited mobility in the affected area. These injuries may involve partial or complete tears of the tendon, and disrupts its ability to transmit force from muscle to bone effectively. We offer expert care for tendon injuries, including repair and grafting procedures. Treatment begins with a detailed physical evaluation to assess the extent of the injury and determine the appropriate approach. 

In cases of partial tears or minor injuries, we usually recommend conservative treatments such as rest, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory medications to promote healing and restore function. However, for more severe or complete tendon tears requiring surgical intervention, our experienced orthopaedic surgeons perform repair procedures to reattach the torn tendon properly. In instances where the tendon is too damaged or insufficient for repair, tendon grafting techniques may be employed, involving the use of donor tissue or autografts to reinforce and strengthen the injured tendon. Through advanced surgical techniques, our surgeons at Orthopaedic and Hand Surgery Partners help patients recover from tendon injuries, restore normal function, and improve their quality of life.

Hand Fractures Fixation

At Orthopaedic and Hand Surgery Partners, we provide comprehensive treatment options for hand fractures, including fixation procedures that help stabilise broken bones and promote proper healing. Hand fractures occur when one or more of the bones in the hand are broken due to trauma, falls, or repetitive stress. These fractures can range from minor cracks to more severe breaks, which can cause pain, swelling, deformity, and difficulty using the hand. Our treatment procedure usually begins with a thorough evaluation to assess the extent of the fracture and any associated injuries. 

Depending on the type and severity of the fracture, conservative measures such as splinting or casting may be sufficient to immobilise the hand and protect the injured extremity, allowing the bones to heal. However, surgical intervention may be necessary for more complex fractures or displaced bones. Our experienced orthopedic surgeons perform various fixation techniques, including internal fixation with screws, plates, or pins, to realign and stabilise the fractured bones. Moreover, through rehabilitation programmes, we help our patients recover from hand fractures by improving their mobility.

Hand and UJpper Limb Tumour Excision

Hand and upper limb tumours can manifest as abnormal growths or masses in the soft tissues, bones, or joints of the hand and arm. These tumours may be benign or malignant and can cause pain, swelling, deformity, and functional impairment. We provide comprehensive care for patients with hand and upper limb tumours and offer expert evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment options. 

Treatment typically involves surgical excision to remove the tumour while preserving surrounding healthy tissue and structures. Our experienced surgical team employs advanced techniques to ensure the complete removal of the tumour and minimise the risk of recurrence. Depending on the size, location, and type of tumour, reconstructive procedures may be necessary to restore function and aesthetics to the hand and upper limb. Our aim is to improve the quality of life for individuals affected by hand and upper limb tumours and enable them to regain mobility and function. 

Wrist Fracture Fixation, Ligament Repair, and Reconstruction

Trauma, falls, or sports injuries result in broken bones in the wrist joint. These wrist fractures vary in severity, from minor hairline cracks to more complex breaks such as displacement or the involvement of surrounding ligaments. Symptoms often include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the wrist. 

At Orthopaedic and Hand Surgery Partners, we offer comprehensive treatment options for wrist fractures, including fixation procedures and ligament repair and reconstruction. Treatment begins with a thorough evaluation, which may include imaging studies to assess the extent of the fracture and any associated ligament injuries. Depending on the severity of the fracture and the stability of the wrist joint, conservative measures such as casting or splinting may be sufficient to immobilise the wrist and promote healing. However, for more complex fractures or those with ligament involvement, surgical intervention may be necessary. 

Our skilled orthopedic surgeons perform various fixation techniques, such as internal fixation with screws, plates, or pins, to stabilise the fractured bones and promote proper alignment. Additionally, ligament repair or reconstruction may be performed to restore stability and function to the wrist joint.

Hand and Wrist Deformity Correction

Hand and wrist deformities can result from various causes, including congenital conditions, trauma, arthritis, or neurological disorders. These deformities can manifest as abnormalities in the alignment, shape, or function of the hand and wrist, leading to pain, weakness, and impaired function. At Orthopaedic and Hand Surgery Partners, we offer expert care for hand and wrist deformities and provide comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment options. 

Treatment may involve conservative measures such as splinting, bracing, or physical therapy to alleviate symptoms and improve function. However, surgical intervention may be recommended for more severe or complex deformities that significantly impact daily activities and quality of life. Our experienced orthopaedic surgeons perform corrective procedures per the patient's condition, such as osteotomy (bone reshaping), soft tissue release or reconstruction, joint fusion, or joint replacement. Our goal is to help patients achieve improved hand and wrist function, restore their confidence, and enhance their overall quality of life.
