Hand and Wrist
Improve motion. Correct deformities. Reduce pain.
We use our hands every day. So when they are injured through accidents or become non-functional as a result of disease, our daily lives are very much affected. Dr. Aviles is fellowship trained with experience in correcting hand and wrist problems through surgery. Surgery can correct a number of issues, including:
- Nerve Compression (e.g., Carpal Tunnel)
- Congenital Deformities (e.g., Syndactyly)
- Degenerative Arthritis (e.g., Basal Joint Disease)
- Inflammation
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Trauma or Injury
- Tumors (e.g., Ganglion Cysts)
Depending upon the patient’s condition, one of the following procedures may be employed:
- Fracture, tendon and nerve repairs
Surgically repairing parts of the hand and wrist caused by injury or disease.
- Removal of diseased bone with joint reconstruction
Removing and/or replacing bones and joints using synthetic material or bones taken from another source within the patient’s body.
- Surgery to release tissues and alleviate pressure on the nerve
Relieves pressure on nerves and other critical parts of the hand that affect pain, feeling, and function.
- Replantation
Using microsurgery (performed under intense magnification) to replace and/or restore amputated fingers or other parts of the hand caused by injury or trauma.
In alignment with the patient’s specific needs, an appropriate course of rehabilitation will be prescribed to ensure optimal recovery and to minimize pain associated with surgery.
