An amputation is the removal of a body part. Removal could be the result of an accident (traumatic injury) or a planned amputation due to disease or a tumour.

Bone Graft

Carpal tunnel release surgery in Taunton

At Nuffield Health Taunton Hospital our leading hand and wrist surgeons have built an outstanding reputation in Somerset and the South West for their surgical outcomes. Our orthopaedic hand surgeons specialise in performing carpal tunnel release surgery, providing patients with rapid and sustainable pain relief after treatment.

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)

Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment, and works by delivering impulses of energy, targeted to specific damaged tissues within the abnormal tendon.

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.
