Hand & Wrist Procedures

The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway on the palm side of your wrist. Small wrist bones known as carpals form the bottom and sides of the carpal tunnel and a strong band of connecting tissue, known as the transverse carpal ligament, covers the top of the carpal tunnel.

The hand is one of the most flexible and useful parts of our body. Because of overuse in various activities, the hands are more prone to injuries, such as sprains and strains, fractures and dislocations, lacerations and amputations while operating machinery, bracing against a fall and sports-related injuries.

Cartiva is a synthetic cartilage implant that can be used for the treatment of carpometacarpal (CMC) joint osteoarthritis of the thumb.The joint located at the base of the thumb is known as the carpometacarpal joint or CMC joint. It is formed by the metacarpal bone in the palm and the carpal bone in the wrist.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common, painful, progressive condition that is caused by the compression of the median nerve at the wrist area.The common symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome include numbness and tingling sensation in all the fingers except the little finger,

Minimally invasive hand and wrist surgery refers to surgeries performed using smaller incisions or portals, rather than a larger incision as in traditional open surgery, along with thin surgical tools and cameras to treat bone and soft tissue injuries of the hand and wrist.

Wrist arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to view, diagnose and treat problems of your wrist joint.Your wrist is a complex joint made up of eight small bones called carpal bones. These bones are supported by connecting ligaments.

The wrist is a complex joint made up of 8 carpal bones aligned in two rows with four bones present in each row. The carpal bones are further connected to 5 metacarpal bones that form the palm of the hand. Each small bone forms a joint with the bone next to it. Thus, the wrist joint is made up of many small joints. The two bones of the forearm, radius and ulna, also form a joint with the first row of carpals.

The human wrist is made up of small bones joined together by a band of tough fibrous tissue known as ligaments. Ligaments also join the bones in our wrist to the radius, ulna, and metacarpal bones, and aid in the proper functioning of our wrist.Any injury to the ligaments disturbs the normal alignment of our wrist bones
