What does hand and wrist surgery treat?
As well as treating common conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome (compression of the median nerve), trigger finger, ganglion cysts or connective tissue disorders (Dupuytren’s contracture), we also carry out all complex procedures for trauma-related, degenerative or rheumatic conditions affecting the fingers, hand, wrist and forearm, such as joint replacement with prostheses or joint fusion (arthrodesis). Our services also cover the full spectrum of trauma surgery for the hand, wrist and forearm (traumatology). In cases of deformities resulting from injuries, we also carry out corrective surgery such as axial corrections or tendon transfers.
From acute care to post-operative rehabilitation
In the event of injuries, we provide acute care for bones, tendons, ligaments and joints, including microsurgical nerve repair under the microscope. Post-operative care is provided by our specialist team of occupational therapists and is carried out in close collaboration with the medical team specialising in hand and wrist surgery. Complex cases are discussed on a regular basis in interdisciplinary meetings.
In cases of severe hand injuries, we work closely with the hand surgery department at Luzerner Kantonsspital.
