Advanced Upper Extremity Surgery
We are dedicated to providing advanced treatments for injuries and disorders affecting the upper extremity, consisting of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand. When left untreated, problems affecting the upper extremity may lead to impairments in function and chronic pain, significantly impacting a patient’s quality of life. Our multidisciplinary, patient-centered approach to treatment allows us to provide patients with superb outcomes. We treat:
- Tendon Injuries: Your tendons connect the hand and forearm muscles to the finger and wrist bones, making them crucial for performing routine tasks. We offer advanced surgical procedures to alleviate common tendon injuries, such as tendonitis, tennis elbow, flexor and extensor tendon injuries, and De Quervain’s tenosynovitis.
- Nerve Injuries and Nerve Compression Syndrome: When the nerves of the arm and hand are injured or compressed, movement can become difficult and painful. We treat various nerve compression syndromes, such as carpal tunnel, as well as brachial plexus injuries.
- Wrist, Hand, and Finger Fractures: Though broken bones often heal on their own, certain injuries may need surgery to properly heal. Our surgeons in NJ offer treatment for complex distal radius fractures and metacarpal fractures to ensure your bones return to their correct position and function normally.
- Hand Reconstruction: Accidents and trauma can sometimes result in life-altering injuries, such as losing a finger or part of the hand. We offer advanced hand reconstruction surgery and finger reconstruction surgery, including replantation or reattachment and toe-to-finger transplant surgery.
- Arthritis Treatment: Arthritis causes pain and stiffness in the joints, often worsening with age. When joint pain is severe, often due to arthritis, hand surgery may be an option for certain patients. We offer joint denervation surgery to alleviate chronic joint pain so patients can feel good again.
- Amputation & TMR: Amputation of the arm or hand causes many changes in a patient’s life, including functional limitations, social and psychological issues, and severe phantom pain. We’re proud to offer an advanced surgical procedure known as targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR), which transfers nerves to restore muscle function.
