Arthroscopic Uses for Hand Surgery
Hand arthroscopy is a less invasive procedure that helps diagnose and treat issues inside your hand. By using a small camera called an arthroscope, your surgeon can see the inside of your hand on a screen and make careful repairs through small incisions. This method often results in less discomfort and a quicker recovery than traditional surgery.
Common Hand Conditions
Arthritis can affect the joints in your hand and elbow, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness. While there are different types of arthritis, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the most common. Arthroscopic surgery can help manage arthritis symptoms by removing damaged tissue and smoothing the joint surfaces. This can improve how your joints move and help reduce pain, allowing you to stay active. At Carondelet Medical Group, we're here to provide thorough care for your hand conditions. Our experienced surgeons use techniques that promote effective treatment and a quicker recovery. If you're dealing with hand issues, reach out to us to schedule a consultation and find out how we can support your health and well-being.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome happens when the median nerve in your wrist gets compressed, leading to symptoms like numbness, tingling, and weakness in your hand and fingers. If untreated, it can make everyday tasks difficult. Our hand surgeons can perform carpal tunnel release surgery to ease the pressure on the nerve and help improve how your hand works.
Dupuytren's contracture is a condition where the tissue under the skin of your palm thickens and tightens, causing your fingers to curl inward. Arthroscopy can be used to release this thickened tissue, allowing your fingers to move more freely. This procedure is less invasive than traditional surgery, which means a smoother recovery with less discomfort afterward.
