Hand & Finger Conditions
Our hands are our most vital tools. Dr. Chaudhry offers precise surgical interventions to correct deformities, relieve nerve compression, and treat arthritis.
Nerve Compression & Release
Relief for numbness, tingling, and loss of grip strength.
- Carpal Tunnel Decompression: Surgical release of the transverse carpal ligament to relieve pressure on the median nerve. This procedure effectively treats numbness and pain in the thumb and fingers.
- Ulnar Nerve Decompression: Releasing pressure on the nerve that controls fine hand movements, often required for numbness in the little finger.
Soft Tissue & Deformity Correction
Correcting fingers that lock, curl, or catch.
- Trigger Finger Release: A minor procedure to release the pulley sheath preventing the tendon from gliding smoothy, fixing fingers that lock in a bent position.
- Dupuytren’s Contracture Release: Surgical excision of the thickened fascia (tissue) in the palm that causes fingers to curl permanently inward.
- De Quervain’s Release: Treating painful tendonitis at the base of the thumb (radial styloid) to restore pain-free wrist and thumb movement.
- Ganglion & Mucous Cyst Excision: Removal of fluid-filled cysts from the wrist joints or finger tips (mucous cysts) to reduce pain and risk of infection.
Arthritis & Joint Reconstruction
Solutions for painful, stiff joints.
- Basal Thumb Arthroplasty: A specialized procedure for arthritis at the base of the thumb (CMC joint). This surgery removes the arthritic bone and reconstructs the ligament to eliminate grinding pain while preserving grip.
- Finger Joint Correction / Fusion: Stabilizing severe arthritis in the finger joints (DIP/PIP) to align the finger and eliminate pain.
Trauma & Reconstruction
- Tendon Transfer: A complex procedure rerouting a healthy tendon to restore function to a paralyzed or damaged muscle group.
- Traumatic Hand Injury Surgery: Comprehensive repair of fractures, lacerations, and ligament injuries following accidents.
