Wrist Conditions

Trigger finger

A trigger finger or stenotic tenosynovitis is a common clinical entity characterized by painful finger ‘locking’. It can occur on any finger of the hand but most often it occurs on the thumb (30% – 60%), followed by the index, the middle finger and occasionally the little finger. The ejected finger may be an acquired or a congenital clinical entity.

Fractures of the Forearm – Wrist – Hand

What are Forearm -Wrist – Hand Fractures?
Fractures of the forearm – wrist – hand are mainly fractures of the lower end of the radius (colles fractures). They are more common in older people after a fall. In case of minor comminution and displacement of the fracture the treatment is conservative with a closed fracture rearrangement and plaster placement for 6 weeks.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

What is the carpal tunnel syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful condition that deteriorates over time. It is caused by the pressure applied to the median nerve as it travels through the wrist. The median nerve passes through the forearm reaching the hand, moving through certain anatomical passages which in particular cases exert pressure on the nerve. It is more common in women than in men.
