Bone Graft
Surgeons can perform a bone graft to repair or rebuild damaged bone in many areas of your body.
Carpal tunnel release
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome happens when the nerve that crosses the front of your wrist (the median nerve) is trapped causing pain, numbness, tingling and weakness in the hand and arm. The nerve passes through the carpal tunnel, a canal in the wrist that carries all the tendons of the hand. If these tendons are swollen, the nerve is squeezed and becomes trapped.
Dupuytren's fasciectomy
Dupuytren’s disease occurs when scar-like tissue forms just beneath the skin of the fingers and the palm of the hand. Over time this fibrous tissue can contract and force one or more fingers to permanently curl up into the palm.
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) at Bristol Hospital
At Nuffield Health Bristol Hospital, we perform pioneering shockwave therapy. This non-invasive treatment offers an effective alternative to surgery or physiotherapy. It can be used to treat a number of painful joint and tendon conditions.
Hand surgery
The need for hand surgery can arise from a variety of problems including arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel release, de quervain’s and dupuytren’s.
Image guided joint injections
If your swollen or painful joints, ligaments or tendons do not respond to conservative treatments your consultant may recommend image guided joint injections.
Trapeziectomy
Your trapezium is a small bone at the base of your wrist that joins your thumb to your wrist. Wear and tear within this joint can cause pain. If conservative treatment methods are not successful your consultant may recommend a trapeziectomy.
