Nerve Entrapment Syndromes We Treat

1. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This condition is common among individuals who perform repetitive hand movements, such as typing or using tools.

Symptoms:

✔ Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, middle, and half of the ring finger
✔ Weak grip strength and difficulty holding objects
✔ Pain that may radiate to the forearm or shoulder

Surgical Treatment:

Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery:

• The transverse carpal ligament is carefully cut to relieve pressure on the median nerve.
• Techniques Used:
  🔹 Open Surgery – Traditional method with a small incision.
  🔹 Endoscopic Surgery – Minimally invasive approach for faster recovery.

2. Trigger Finger Syndrome

What is Trigger Finger?
Trigger finger (stenosing tenosynovitis) occurs when the tendons in the fingers or thumb become inflamed, leading to difficulty in bending and straightening the fingers.

Symptoms:

✔ Pain and stiffness in the affected finger, especially in the morning
✔ A snapping or popping sensation when moving the finger
✔ The finger may lock in a bent position

Surgical Treatment:

Trigger Finger Release Surgery:

• The constricted tendon sheath is released to restore smooth finger movement.
• Quick, daycare procedure with minimal scarring and fast recovery.

3. De Quervain’s Syndrome

What is De Quervain’s Syndrome?
De Quervain’s syndrome results from inflammation of the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist, causing pain and difficulty moving the thumb and wrist. It is often caused by repetitive wrist and thumb movements.

Symptoms:

✔ Pain and swelling near the base of the thumb
✔ Difficulty grasping or pinching objects
✔ Pain worsens with wrist movement

Surgical Treatment:

De Quervain’s Release Surgery:

• The tight sheath around the affected tendons is released to reduce friction and inflammation.
• Minimally invasive techniques allow for rapid recovery and restored function.
