There are different treatment options for carpal tunnel syndrome. Your doctor will let you know which option is most suitable for you after the physical examination. Generally, patients who don’t respond well to conservative treatments qualify for surgery.

Tendinitis is a condition affecting the tendons (the cord that attaches the muscle to the bone).

People who suffer from this condition get their fingers stuck in a bent position. This is due to inflammation and causes pain.

Tendon rupture occurs when the tendon tissue breaks. Tendon rupture is treated differently depending on the site where the problem occurs.

The recovery process usually takes at least two weeks.

This procedure is possible and may be a viable solution for you depending on your specific condition.

This procedure is suitable if your wrist cartilage is worn away or damaged by injury, infection, or disease.

Like any other surgery, there are some potential risks and complications. Your doctor will make sure you understand them all before you decide to undergo this procedure.

The recovery time can differ greatly from one patient to another, based on your condition and how you feel after your surgery.

There are several minor lifestyle modifications to help keep you comfortable while you are recovering and speed up the process.

A great number of hand surgeries can be done with local anesthesia.

This procedure can treat diseases that cause pain and impair the strength, function, and flexibility of your wrist and fingers.
