Advanced Treatment Options
Our hand surgeons are among the most experienced in New Jersey. They will work with you to determine the best treatment plan for your unique case. Their goal is to restore as much function as possible and stop the progressions of the disease or condition so you can do the activities you love once again.
Our physicians often recommend non-surgical therapies first. Pain and anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections, splints/casts, and physical therapy are all proven nonsurgical options that may alleviate your pain. But when conservative methods fail to provide relief and restore mobility, surgery may be necessary. Our surgeons perform a wide range of hand and wrist surgeries, including the latest minimally invasive arthroscopic, endoscopic and nerve repair options. These techniques use tiny instruments and just a few small incisions, which means less post-operative pain and a quicker return to function.
Surgical treatment options include:
- Arthritis surgery
- Carpal tunnel surgery
- Complex reconstructive procedures
- Dupuytren’s contracture surgery
- Ganglion cyst surgery
- Repair of torn ligaments
- Rheumatoid arthritis surgery
- Trigger finger release
