• Carpal Tunnel Release: Carpal Tunnel Release is a type of surgery that involves correcting the pressure on nerves in the carpal tunnel in order to relieve pain and improve function. Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by a variety of things, including overuse, injury, arthritis, and pregnancy. If conservative treatments like splinting, steroid injections, and physical therapy don’t help, hand surgeons at Arizona Specialty Hospital can offer relief through Carpal Tunnel Release.
• Trigger Finger Release: Trigger Finger Release is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed by our hand surgeons to treat Trigger Finger. Trigger Finger is a condition where the finger gets stuck in a bent position. The Trigger Finger Release procedure is performed by making a small incision in the palm and releasing the tendon that is causing the problem. This procedure can be done on an outpatient basis, which means you can go home the same day.
• Extensor Tendon Repair: Extensor tendon repair is a surgical procedure to correct damage to the extensor tendons. The Extensor tendons are located in the back of the hand and are responsible for extending the fingers. Extensor tendon repair is often performed to treat athletes and others who have suffered hand or finger injuries. The Extensor tendons are surgically repaired using a variety of techniques, depending on the severity of the injury.
• ORIF: ORIF, or open reduction internal fixation, is a type of surgery used to treat fractures. The goal of ORIF is to restore the alignment of the bones and stabilize the joint so that it can heal properly.
