Common Hand and Wrist Procedures

Common Hand and Wrist Procedures

Carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger are two of the most common conditions requiring hand surgery. Surgical decompression of the median nerve relieves carpal tunnel symptoms when conservative measures (bracing, injections, activity modification) have failed. Trigger finger release frees the A1 pulley to restore smooth tendon gliding. Wrist fractures may also require open reduction and internal fixation.
