Hand and Wrist

Expert Care for Common Hand and Wrist Conditions

Pain, numbness, stiffness, weakness, or loss of hand function can make even simple daily activities frustrating. Whether you are struggling to grip objects, experiencing tingling in your fingers, or dealing with painful thumb arthritis, timely assessment can help identify the cause and determine the most appropriate treatment options.

At Ortho South, we offer assessment and treatment for a focused range of common hand and wrist conditions. Many problems can be managed without surgery, while others may benefit from a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve pain and restore function.

Conditions We Commonly Treat

Non-Surgical Treatment Options

Surgery is not always the first step. Many hand and wrist conditions can be successfully managed with:

  • Activity modification
  • Splinting or bracing
  • Hand therapy
  • Anti-inflammatory medications
  • Cortisone injections
  • Observation and monitoring

The appropriate treatment depends on the diagnosis, severity of symptoms, and your personal goals.

When Is Surgery Recommended?

Surgery may be appropriate when:

  • Symptoms persist despite conservative treatment.
  • Pain significantly affects daily activities.
  • Nerve compression is causing weakness or worsening numbness.
  • Finger or thumb function continues to decline.
  • Progressive deformity develops.

The decision to proceed with surgery is highly individualized and based on a careful discussion of risks, benefits, expected recovery, and alternative treatment options.

Common Hand and Wrist Procedures

Procedures offered may include:

  • Carpal tunnel release
  • Trigger finger release
  • Surgery for basal thumb arthritis
  • De Quervain's release
  • Selected procedures for Dupuytren's contracture
  • Other minor hand and wrist procedures when appropriate

Most procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day.

What to Expect at Your Consultation

During your consultation, we will:

  • Review your symptoms and medical history
  • Perform a focused hand and wrist examination
  • Review any imaging or investigations
  • Discuss non-surgical and surgical treatment options
  • Develop an individualized treatment plan

Not every condition requires surgery, and many patients are best served by conservative treatment.
