Hand surgery
in Speising Hospital
The presence of many small bones, muscles, tendons, nerves and vessels makes the hand the most complex structure in the human musculoskeletal system.
In the field of hand surgery, I offer patients the following treatments:
Carpal tunnel syndrome
The narrowing of a main nerve (median nerve) in the wrist area leads to painful abnormal sensations and numbness of the first three fingers. Often the patients suffer from severe pain at night.
Surgical relief of the nerve at an early stage is recommended so that the nerve is not permanently damaged. The nerve is gently freed from its constriction by means of a short cut on the wrist under local anesthesia.
This leads to a rapid improvement in pain. The hand only needs to be rested for a few days.
Trigger finger
A swelling of the flexor tendons leads to a characteristic and painful “finger snapping” when the finger joints are stretched.
With a small operation under local anesthesia, the restrictive ring ligament is split. The finger can be moved again immediately after the operation. The hand only needs to be spared for a few days.
Rhizarthrosis / thumb saddle joint wear
A high degree of wear and tear in the thumb saddle joint results in a painful reduction in thumb mobility and a loss of strength when grasping.
The joint parts that cause pain are surgically removed and replaced with the body’s own tendon tissue.
If you have any questions about hand surgery, I am happy to answer you personally.
Most hand surgery interventions are carried out in the Orthopedic Hospital Wien Speising carefully under local anesthesia in the day clinic (i.e. you will be discharged on the day of the operation).
