Hand Conditions

Dr. Fort has special expertise in treating the following hand conditions:

Arthritis of the hand causes pain, stiffness, and reduced function in the hand and fingers. While hand arthritis cannot be cured, treatment can alleviate symptoms and improve hand and finger mobility.

Hand trauma includes injuries such as lacerations, fractures, dislocations, nerve injuries, tendon injuries, and vascular injuries. These injuries can significantly impact hand function and may require surgical intervention to restore mobility and strength.

Tendon injuries such as tendonitis, trigger finger, tendon ruptures, and tendon lacerations can cause pain and limit hand movement. Treatment options aim to repair the tendon and restore normal function.

Peripheral nerve injuries can cause chronic pain and loss of function. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to preventing long-term damage and improving outcomes.

Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, and radial tunnel syndrome involve nerve compression in the hand and wrist. Any of these conditions can lead to pain, numbness, and weakness, including loss of function. Treatment focuses on relieving the pressure on the affected nerve to restore function.
