A functional hand and fingers are something most of us take for granted, that is until it becomes affected by injury or disease.
The main symptoms people present with are pain, loss of function, and deformity. OSV surgeons provide comprehensive evaluation and management for a wide range of hand, wrist, and elbow conditions.
Common injuries and conditions include fractures, dislocations, ligament and tendon damage, arthritis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and Dupuytren’s Disease.
Orthopaedic injuries include any injury to the musculoskeletal system. These injuries relating to the bones and joints are often the result of a sporting injury, accident, or trauma to the body. From elite athletes and sporting greats, children, the elderly, OSV surgeons have helped thousands of patients regain their freedom and quality of life from these types of injuries.

Arthritis is the gradual wear and tear of cartilage, which results in the loss of a smooth gliding motion for the joint and causes the associated pain and restricted movement.
Trigger Finger or Thumb is when the digit ‘triggers’ suddenly – it gets jammed or locked into a position (bent or straight), sometimes returning with a painful snap.
A wrist fracture is a common injury that typically refers to a break in the radius, the larger of the two forearm bones, near the wrist joint. The severity of the fracture can vary, ranging from simple breaks to more complex fractures that involve the joint.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a condition caused by the compression of the median nerve as it travels through the carpal tunnel in the wrist.
Ganglion cysts in the hand and wrist are the most common types of lumps found in these areas. These cysts are non-cancerous meaning they do not turn into cancer. Ganglion cysts are filled with a jelly-like fluid and can range from soft to firm or even hard.
Dupuytren’s disease is a condition where the connective tissue in the palm and fingers thickens and tightens, causing the fingers to bend towards the palm.
Mallet finger is a common hand injury that occurs when the extensor tendon responsible for straightening the tip of the finger becomes impaired.
