Hand and Upper Extremity Reconstruction

• Vascularized joint transfer (finger joint replacement with a joint from a toe) for arthritis or trauma
• Amputated finger(s) or thumb reconstruction with free toe transfer
• Wrist or finger joint repair, replacement (silicone or pyrocarbon arthroplasty), or denervation
• Thumb base carpometacarpal joint (CMC) replacement, suspensionplasty, or denervation
• Forearm, wrist, hand, or finger fracture repair
• Botox injections or minimally invasive surgery for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
• Minimally invasive (arthroscopic) wrist reconstruction, partial fusion, or fusion
• Arthroscopic assisted distal radius fracture repair (ensures near perfect restoration of joint surface)
• Minimally invasive, same day management of Dupuytren’s cords and contractures
• Minimally invasive carpal tunnel surgery
• Minimally invasive cubital tunnel (ulnar neuropathy) surgery
• Ulnar nerve transposition
• Ulnar nerve supercharge surgery
• Shoulder tendon transfers for otherwise unrepairable rotator cuff injury
• Tendon repair, graft, or transfer
• Nerve repair, graft, or transfer
• Lympho-venous bypass
• Lymph node transfer

Pediatric Hand Differences

• Syndactyly repair
• Removal of extra digits (polydactyly)
• Thumb stabilization or creation (pollicization)
• Rebalancing procedures for deviated forearms, wrists, hands, fingers (radial longitudinal deficiency, ulnar deficiency, Madelung deformity)
• Digit lengthening
• Reduction of overgrown fingers or limbs (macrodactyly)
• Surgical management of vascular malformations (hemangioma, arteriovenous malformation, lymphatic malformation)
• Tendon transfers for partial paralysis (arthogryposis, cerebral palsy, spasticity)
