Trigger Finger
Trigger Finer is a very common condition in which the tendon that controls that finger can’t glide smoothly in the sheath that surrounds it. Patients typically have a finger painfully snap in and out of position or even get stuck in the bent position. Patients with diabetes, hypothyroidism and arthritis have a higher risk of developing Trigger Finger.
Dupuytren’s Disease
Dupuytren’s contracture is an abnormal thickening of the skin of the palm- usually at the base of fingers the progressively lead to flexing of the involved digit. The thickened area starts with a lump and then over time contracts forward into the palm and can limit mobility and functions.
Hand Tumors
Benign tumors such as ganglion cysts and lipomas are commonly found on the hand and wrist and can cause discomfort. Our surgeons use the most innovative techniques to excise these tumors so you look and feel better.
