Types of Surgeries Performed Include:

CARPAL TUNNEL RELEASE

Carpal tunnel syndrome can cause numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. Our skilled surgeons utilize advanced techniques to relieve pressure on the median nerve, providing long-term relief and restoring hand function.

TRIGGER FINGER RELEASE

Trigger finger can be a painful condition that restricts finger movement. Through minimally invasive surgical procedures, our experts release the constricted tendon, allowing smooth and painless finger movement.

DE QUERVAIN’S RELEASE

De Quervain’s tenosynovitis is a condition characterized by pain and swelling at the base of the thumb. Our surgeons perform a release procedure to alleviate the pain and restore proper functioning of the thumb tendons.

HAND FRACTURE REPAIR

Hand fractures can occur from accidents or sports injuries. Our experienced orthopedic surgeons utilize advanced techniques to realign fractured bones and facilitate proper healing, enabling you to regain strength and dexterity in your hand.

UCL RECONSTRUCTION (TOMMY JOHN SURGERY)

Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) tears commonly occur in throwing athletes, such as baseball players. Our surgeons employ advanced techniques to reconstruct the damaged ligament, allowing athletes to regain stability and resume their sport.

WRIST ARTHROSCOPY

Wrist arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat various wrist conditions, such as ligament injuries, fractures, and cartilage damage. Our surgeons use small incisions and specialized instruments to provide precise treatment and expedite your recovery.

ELBOW ARTHROSCOPY

Elbow arthroscopy allows our surgeons to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the elbow joint, including tennis elbow, loose bodies, and arthritis. By employing minimally invasive techniques, we aim to reduce pain, improve range of motion, and enhance overall elbow function.

CUBITAL TUNNEL RELEASE

Cubital tunnel syndrome is a condition characterized by compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow, resulting in numbness and tingling in the hand. Our surgeons perform a cubital tunnel release procedure to relieve pressure on the nerve and restore sensation and function.

DISTAL BICEPS TENDON REPAIR

Tearing the distal biceps tendon can occur during sports activities that involve forceful elbow flexion, such as weightlifting or grappling sports. Our specialized surgeons can repair the torn tendon, restoring strength and stability to the elbow.

ELBOW FRACTURE REPAIR

Fractures in the elbow can cause severe pain and limited mobility. Our orthopedic specialists use advanced surgical techniques to align and stabilize fractured bones, facilitating proper healing and restoring optimal function to your elbow.

TENDON REPAIR

Tendon injuries in the hand, wrist, or elbow can significantly impact your ability to perform everyday tasks. Our skilled surgeons perform precise tendon repair procedures to restore strength, stability, and range of motion, helping you regain your independence.
