Hand & wrist surgery

The hand and wrist, treated by an upper-limb surgeon.

Dr Coory's fellowship in shoulder and upper limb surgery extends to common hand and wrist conditions — from carpal tunnel syndrome that wakes you at night, to distal radius fractures that need precise surgical reduction.

Conditions

Common hand & wrist conditions.

Nerve

Carpal tunnel syndrome

Tingling, numbness and weakness in the hand caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist.

Distal radius fracture

The most common wrist fracture in adults. When to treat non-operatively, and when surgery restores a better result.

Procedures

Hand & wrist surgical procedures.

Nerve

Endoscopic carpal tunnel release

Single-incision endoscopic release of the transverse carpal ligament. Faster return to grip strength than open technique.

Distal radius ORIF

Open reduction and internal fixation with volar locking plate for displaced or intra-articular distal radius fractures.
