Our unit specializes in the treatment of bone, nerve, and tendon conditions of the upper limb, particularly the hand, both elective and trauma-related. We provide care using advanced techniques in hand surgery, orthopaedics, and modern microsurgery.
Main Conditions Treated:
- Traumatic Injuries of the Upper Limb: Including fractures, peripheral nerve injuries, tendon injuries, and joint injuries.
- Inflammatory and Degenerative Conditions: Affecting the bones and joints of the upper limb, such as osteoarthritis, arthritis, and other deformities of arthritic and rheumatic origin.
- Peripheral Nervous System Compression Surgery: Treating conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar nerve compression at the elbow and Guyon's canal, and painful neuromas.
- Inflammatory and Degenerative Conditions of the Musculoskeletal and Tegumentary System: Such as trigger finger, De Quervain's disease, and Dupuytren's contracture.
- Post-Trauma or Congenital Malformations: Addressing the aftermath of injuries or congenital deformities.
- Tumors and Growths: Affecting the fingers and upper limb.
Surgical Techniques Used:
- Osteosynthesis: Surgical fixation of bones.
- External Fixation: Stabilizing bones using external devices.
- Minimally Invasive and Percutaneous Techniques: Less invasive procedures for quicker recovery.
- Microsurgical Techniques: Precision surgery using microscopes.
- Arthroscopic Techniques: Minimally invasive joint surgery.
- Prosthetic Replacements: Including wrist prostheses and neuroguides for peripheral nerve injuries.
Our multidisciplinary team is dedicated to providing the highest level of care using the latest surgical technologies and techniques.
