Carpal tunnel, trigger finger, bunions and Morton’s neuroma.
What you may notice
Adults, and more commonly women; several are associated with diabetes
Hand and foot conditions are among the most reliably improved by surgery when it is indicated, and among the most over-operated when it is not. Carpal tunnel decompression, trigger finger release and bunion correction are all short day-case procedures — but each has a non-surgical route that is worth trying first in most cases, and splinting or injection resolves a good proportion.
Procedures
What each procedure involves, what recovery actually looks like, and how long before you are back.
A full examination with a consultant, imaging reviewed on the day, and a written plan.
Radiographs, MRI, ultrasound and gait analysis, reported and explained.
Ultrasound-guided injections for diagnosis and for symptom relief.
Keyhole surgery for the knee, shoulder, hip and ankle, as a day case.
ACL and other ligament reconstruction, with rehabilitation planned from the start.
Total or partial replacement for arthritis that has stopped responding to everything else.
Replacing the worn ball and socket — among the most reliable operations in surgery.
Carpal tunnel, trigger finger, bunion correction and tendon procedures.
Supervised, criteria-based recovery after injury or surgery.
Appointments
Consultations are with a consultant orthopaedic surgeon. Bring any imaging you have already had — it often saves repeating it.
