Hand & Wrist

Our hands and wrists are essential tools that we use every day, from typing on a keyboard to lifting a cup of coffee. They provide us with the dexterity and strength needed to perform both delicate tasks and heavy lifting. When you are dealing with wrist joint pain or an injury, it can significantly disrupt your daily life, making even simple tasks challenging and painful. Whether it is due to an acute injury, overuse, or a chronic condition like rheumatoid arthritis, it is crucial to address these issues with a skilled hand specialist promptly to prevent further damage and ensure your hands and wrists can function at their best.

At Advanced Bone & Joint, our team of experienced orthopedic specialists is dedicated to providing you with compassionate, comprehensive care that not only makes you feel important, but also makes you feel comfortable and confident in your body. Our hand specialist and orthopedic teams understand how debilitating this discomfort can be, and we are here to lend a helping hand. Our tailored treatment plans include anything from prescribing physical therapy for tendonitis to injections for trigger finger. Our ultimate goal is to restore your hand and wrist function through positive orthopedic experiences, so you can return to your daily activities without pain.

Common Hand & Wrist Conditions Treated

Other common conditions our doctors are happy to treat include:

Cubital tunnel syndrome, often referred to as 'cell phone elbow', is a condition where the ulnar nerve becomes compressed or irritated, typically at the elbow. This can result in symptoms like tingling, numbness, and weakness in the hand and fingers, making daily tasks increasingly difficult and uncomfortable.

DeQuervain’s tenosynovitis is caused by an inflammation of the tendons at the thumb side of the wrist. This condition is caused by repetitive hand motions such as pinching, squeezing, and moving the wrist from side to side. Common symptoms include pain, numbness, and weakness in the wrist.

Dupuytren's contracture is a hand condition where thickening of the underlying fibrous tissues of the palm causes the fingers to bend inward, often making it difficult to fully straighten them. Symptoms can include firm lumps in the palm, finger stiffness, and curling in of the fingers that can impact joint and overall hand function, making everyday tasks more challenging.

A scaphoid fracture is a break in one of the small carpal bones located in the wrist, often occurring as a result of a fall. This type of fracture can cause significant wrist joint pain and discomfort, reducing mobility and making everyday tasks difficult to perform.

Skier's thumb is a condition marked by an injury to the ulnar collateral ligament, a band of tough, fibrous tissue that connects the bones at the base of the thumb. This injury can result in pain, swelling, and an inability to grasp firmly, affecting your wellness and daily activities. With confidence and compassion, our professional team is here to guide you on the journey to recovery, ensuring you receive the expert care needed to overcome this setback.
