Other Hand & Wrist Conditions

At Hand to Shoulder Associates, our team of board-certified hand and wrist specialists is experienced in diagnosing and treating a wide range of hand and wrist conditions.

We provide personalized care and comprehensive treatment options to address various issues affecting the health and mobility of the hands and wrists, pursuing the best possible outcomes for our patients.

Dupuytren’s Contracture

Dupuytren’s contracture is a condition that affects the connective tissue beneath the skin in the palm and fingers. Over time, thick bands of tissue form and may create a contracture, causing one or more fingers to bend toward the palm. Our expert surgeons can offer various treatments for Dupuytren’s contracture, including nonsurgical therapies and surgical procedures to release the affected tissue and improve hand function.

Ganglions

Ganglions are noncancerous lumps typically forming near joints or tendons in the hand or wrist. While ganglions are usually harmless, they can cause discomfort or limit movement. Our specialists can assess ganglions and recommend appropriate treatments, including aspiration (draining the fluid), injections, or surgical excision if necessary.

Lacerations to tendons, nerves, and arteries

Hand and wrist lacerations can lead to injuries to tendons, nerves, and arteries. Prompt evaluation and treatment by our experienced team are essential to prevent complications and optimize recovery. Our surgeons are skilled in repairing these delicate structures to restore hand function and promote healing.

Mucous cysts

A mucous cyst is a small, fluid-filled sac often appearing on the fingers or around the fingernail. These cysts can cause discomfort or pain and require drainage or surgical excision. Our specialists can provide effective treatments to alleviate symptoms and prevent recurrence.

Sprains & strains

Hand and wrist sprains and strains can result from injury to ligaments and muscles. Proper diagnosis and treatment are crucial to ensure optimal healing and prevent long-term issues. Our team can recommend appropriate therapies, such as splinting or hand therapy, to facilitate recovery.

Tendinitis

Tendinitis is the inflammation of a tendon, commonly affecting the hand and wrist due to common movements. We offer various treatment options for tendinitis, including rest, medications, splinting, and physical therapy, to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
