Carpal Tunnel Release--Open
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist. The median nerve controls sensations to the palm side of the thumb and, as well as impulses to some small muscles in the hand that allow the fingers and thumb to move. The carpal tunnel - a narrow, rigid passageway of ligament and bones at the base of the hand - houses the median nerve and tendons. Sometimes, thickening from irritated tendons or other swelling narrows the tunnel and causes the median nerve to be compressed.
Carpal Tunnel Release--Arthroscopic
Carpal Tunnel Release-Endoscopic surgery uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera attached (endoscope). The endoscope is guided through a small incision in the wrist (single-portal technique) or at the wrist and palm (two-portal technique). The endoscope lets the doctor see structures in the wrist, such as the transverse carpal ligament, without opening the entire area with a large incision.
Cubital Tunnel Release
Cubital Tunnel Release, also called ulnar nerve entrapment is a condition caused by compression of the ulnar nerve in an area of the elbow called the Cubital Tunnel. Cubital Tunnel Syndrome is an injury to the ulnar nerve in the arm that can result in moderate to severe pain and numbness in the elbow and ring & little fingers. Untreated, can result in extreme pain and an unusable hand.
Distal Radius Fracture Repair (Includes Implants & Hardware)
The radius is the larger of the two bones of the forearm. The end toward the wrist is called the distal end. A fracture of the distal radius occurs when the area of the radius near the wrist breaks. Distal Radius Fractures are very common. Price for surgery includes implants, if used.
Dupuytrens Contracture (Release)
Dupuytren’s Contracture Release Surgery is a Treatment used to correct Dupuytren’s contracture, a disease that usually begins with a thickening of the skin in the palm of the hand. Eventually the disease may develop into a thick band that could make your fingers contract or pull into the palm of your hand.
Excision of Lesion of Tendon Sheath or Joint Capsule (e.g. Cyst, Mucous Cyst, or Ganglion)
Excision of Lesion of Tendon Sheath or Joint Capsule is the removal of the most common tumor in the hand and wrist. These are benign sacs of gelatinous fluid that form off of a joint or tendon sheath. They are seen frequently in the wrist but can also occur around finger joints.
Ganglion Excision
Ganglions Excision is the surgical removal of a mass or cyst that is generally attached by a stalk of tissue to a nearby joint capsule, tendon, or tendon sheath (tissue covering the tendon).
Suspensionplasty, Arthroplasty, Interposition, Intercarpal or Carpometacarpal Joints
Suspensionplasty, Arthroplasty, Inteposition. Intercarpal, or Carpometacarpal Joints is an elective procedure that is done to relieve pain and restore function to the joint after damage by arthritis or some other type of trauma.
