Conditions We Treat

Temple’s hand and wrist surgeons treat a wide range of injuries and conditions, including:

Hand and wrist pain can impact every activity big and small. If you are experiencing pain, numbness, stiffness, swelling, or limited range of motion in your hand or wrist, a specialist can accurately diagnose your condition and develop a treatment plan that works for you.

Hand and Wrist Treatment Options

Many hand and wrist conditions improve with non-surgical treatment. Our team evaluates each patient individually and uses the least invasive approach appropriate for your condition and goals. Surgery is typically recommended only if conservative treatment fails to address pain or improve function, or if the condition or injury is severe.

Non-Surgical Treatment

Non-surgical options at Temple may include:

Splinting to support the injured area and allow healing
Anti-inflammatory medications, oral or injected, to reduce pain and swelling
Physical therapy to restore strength, range of motion, and function
Activity modification to reduce stress on the hand and wrist

Peripheral nerve surgery: Repair and regeneration procedures using the latest advances in nerve treatment technology
Tendon surgery: Addresses a wide range of tendon injuries and conditions affecting the hand and wrist
Arthroscopic wrist surgery: A minimally invasive procedure that allows the surgeon to view and repair damaged structures inside the wrist
