Hand and Wrist Pain & Treatment

Your hands and wrists are complex structures made up of bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons that allow for precise movement and strength. When pain, stiffness, or injury disrupts their function, even the simplest tasks—like buttoning a shirt or holding a coffee cup—can become difficult. At Grau Orthopaedics, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of hand and wrist conditions, offering cutting-edge, personalized treatments to restore mobility and improve your quality of life.

Common Hand & Wrist Conditions

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Compression of the median nerve in the wrist, causing numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand
  • Trigger Finger – A condition where a finger becomes stuck in a bent position and may snap when straightened
  • Wrist Arthritis – Degenerative or inflammatory joint disease leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility
  • De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis – Inflammation of the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist, causing pain with movement
  • Fractures of the Hand & Wrist – Broken bones in the hand, fingers, or wrist due to trauma or falls
  • Tendon Injuries & Lacerations – Damage to the tendons affecting movement and grip strength
  • Dupuytren’s Contracture – Thickening of tissue in the palm, leading to curled fingers that can’t fully straighten
  • Ganglion Cysts – Non-cancerous lumps that develop along tendons or joints in the wrist and hand
  • Ligament Tears & Instability – Injuries to the ligaments that support the wrist, leading to pain and weakness

Non-Surgical Hand & Wrist Treatments

Whenever possible, we emphasize conservative care to relieve pain and restore mobility:

  • Splinting & Bracing – Stabilizing the wrist or fingers to allow healing and reduce strain
  • Physical & Occupational Therapy – Exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and function
  • Cortisone Injections – Targeted relief for inflammation and pain
  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy – A regenerative treatment that promotes healing using the body’s own growth factors
  • Anti-Inflammatory Medications – Pain management options to reduce swelling and discomfort

Minimally Invasive & Surgical Hand and Wrist Procedures

For more severe conditions, we offer advanced surgical techniques to restore function and alleviate pain:

  • Carpal Tunnel Release – A procedure to relieve pressure on the median nerve and reduce symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Trigger Finger Release – A minimally invasive surgery to restore smooth movement of the affected finger
  • Wrist Arthroscopy – A minimally invasive procedure used to treat ligament injuries, arthritis, and cartilage damage
  • Fracture Repair – Surgical fixation of broken bones in the hand, wrist, or fingers
  • Tendon & Nerve Repair – Reconstruction of damaged tendons or nerves to restore mobility and sensation
  • Joint Replacement (Arthroplasty) – For severe arthritis, replacing the damaged joint with an implant to improve function
  • Dupuytren’s Contracture Release – Surgery to release thickened tissue and restore finger movement
