Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition caused by increased pressure on the median nerve at the wrist. There is a space in the wrist called the carpal tunnel, where the median nerve and multiple tendons pass from the forearm into the hand.  Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when swelling in this tunnel pinches, or compresses, the nerve.

De Quervain tenosynovitis is a condition that causes pain and swelling at the base of the thumb and the thumb side of the wrist.

Dupuytren’s Disease / Dupuytren's Contracture

Dupuytren's disease (or Dupuytren's Contracture) is the name of a condition in which the fingers are permanently pulled toward the palm because of a shortening, thickening, and excess of the connective tissue in the palm of the hand. 

Flexor Tendon Injuries

Flexor tendons run from the forearm to the ends of the fingers across the palm side of the hand. They control the ability to bend fingers down to the palm (for example to make a fist, grip, or pinch objects).  When these tendons are cut or injured, it can be impossible to bend the fingers or thumb.

Ganglion Cysts

Ganglion cysts are the most common type of lumps found on the hand and wrist. They usually appear on the back of the wrist, the palm side of the wrist, or at the top of the end joint of the finger. The cyst is filled with a clear gelatin-like fluid. It may change in size, and it is noncancerous.

Hand Fractures

The hand is made up of small bones in the fingers called phalanges and long bones that connect them to the wrist called metacarpals. These bones support a network of attachments of muscles and tendons that allow the hand to function. A fracture occurs when there is enough force on the hand to break any of these bones. Some fractures are simple with the bones still well aligned, while others are unstable where the bones become crooked or misaligned.
