ORTHOLILL >> operations >> Hand and Wrist
If you are suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) including pain and paraesthesia, Digitus saltans (Trigger
finger), Morbus dupuytren or ganglion, and conservative therapy has not provided sufficient relief, small and gentle
surgical approaches can be indicated by your doctor.
Arthroscopic Surgery
Wrist arthroscopy enables us to remove loose bodies, to check on fractures of the distal radius (commonly known as
wrist fractures) and to smoothen or refix the discus (equivalent to the meniscus).
Prothesis
Osteoarthritis in the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb is a common hand disorder, the so-called rhizarthritis. In
case of a failed conservative treatment (hyaluronic acid injections, splint treatment and ergotherapy) we recommend
surgical therapy.
Due to improved stability and mobility as well as a reduced rehabilitation time the cementless carpometacarpal joint
prosthesis has gained in importance when compared with tendoplasty.
We can call on many years of experience and expertise in the field of cementless implantation by utilizing the
Elektra-prosthesis.
We predominantly use Swanson implants in cases of rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatism
As a specialized practice for rheumatology we offer the entire spectrum of hand surgery in patients with rheumatism,
including synovectomy, tendon transfers and fusions.
