A surgical procedure to relieve pressure on the median nerve within the carpal tunnel by dividing the transverse carpal ligament. Indicated for carpal tunnel syndrome, it restores function and sensation in patients with median nerve compression.

(Ulnar Nerve Decompression)

Surgery aimed at decompressing the ulnar nerve at the elbow, where it passes through the cubital tunnel. It can involve simple decompression or anterior transposition, depending on severity, to prevent progressive neuropathy affecting hand strength and coordination.

Excision of fibrous cords in the palmar fascia that cause progressive finger flexion contractures, usually in the ring and little fingers. This surgery restores hand extension and function in patients with Dupuytren’s contracture.

Surgical decompression of the first dorsal compartment of the wrist, relieving entrapment of the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis tendons. This treats De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, which causes radial wrist pain aggravated by thumb movement.

A minor procedure that involves releasing the A1 pulley at the base of the affected finger, allowing the flexor tendon to glide freely. Used for stenosing tenosynovitis, it relieves locking or painful snapping of the finger during motion.

Surgical removal of fluid-filled synovial cysts that commonly arise from joints or tendon sheaths in the wrist or fingers. Indicated for symptomatic ganglia or those causing compression of nearby structures.

Complex surgical repair or grafting or transferring of flexor or extensor tendons following laceration, rupture, or avulsion injuries. It requires precise anatomical restoration and is often followed by intensive rehabilitation to optimize hand function.

Treatment of disruption of the terminal extensor tendon at the distal interphalangeal joint, usually due to forced flexion trauma. Surgery may be required for bony avulsions or chronic deformity when conservative splinting fails.

Surgical management of benign (e.g., giant cell tumor, neuromas) or malignant hand masses. Often requires careful dissection around critical neurovascular and tendon structures and may necessitate soft tissue reconstruction for function and cosmesis.

Surgical repair or reconstruction of the ulnar collateral ligament of the thumb's metacarpophalangeal joint, commonly injured in "skier’s thumb." Restores stability and grip strength, especially in cases of complete rupture.

Surgical decompression of peripheral nerves compressed at various sites, including median, ulnar, and radial nerves. Management depends on the compression site (e.g., carpal, cubital, Guyon’s canal) and aims to restore sensory and motor function.

Involves repair of complex soft tissue, nail bed, bone, or pulp injuries. Techniques include primary closure, skin grafting, flap reconstruction, or nail bed repair, aimed at restoring sensation, shape, and nail function.

Surgical interventions for nail deformities due to trauma, tumors (e.g., glomus), chronic infections, or genetic abnormalities. Treatments range from matrixectomy to nail bed reconstruction, often requiring precision to restore nail appearance and function.
