Advanced Treatment for Hand and Wrist Conditions

Pain shouldn’t dictate your daily life. At New York Sports & Joints, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a full spectrum of hand and wrist issues—from overuse injuries to complex surgical needs. With precision medicine, innovative tools, and a personalized touch, our goal is simple: to restore your confidence, mobility, and freedom.

Hand & Wrist Anatomy

These structures are remarkably complex, relying on seamless coordination for strength, mobility, and sensation. Key anatomical features include:

8 carpal bones: Form the wrist and allow for flexibility and shock absorption.
5 metacarpal bones: Support the structure of the palm.
14 phalanges: Make up the fingers and thumb.
Extensor and flexor tendons: Control finger and wrist motion.
Ligaments: Provide joint stability and prevent dislocation.
Major nerves (median, radial, ulnar): Facilitate sensation and muscle control.
Blood vessels: Supply oxygen and nutrients critical for healing and function.

This intricate anatomy explains why hand and wrist injuries require specialized evaluation and precision care.

Expert Care for Complex Hand and Wrist Issues

Your hands and wrists are vital to daily life. When pain, injury, or dysfunction strikes, our fellowship-trained team at New York Sports & Joints is here with personalized solutions and surgical precision.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Caused by pressure on the median nerve, this condition results in weakness or tingling
We begin with splints and therapy, but if symptoms persist, we perform carpal tunnel release to relieve nerve pressure and restore hand function

Thumb Base & Hand Arthritis

Arthritis often affects the thumb base, making grasping painful
We provide bracing and injections to reduce inflammation
For severe arthritis, joint fusion or arthroscopic surgery may be necessary

Tendonitis and Repetitive Motion Injuries

Inflammation from overuse can cause significant pain and limit motion
Treatments include rest, splints, guided injections, and surgical tendon repair if conservative care doesn’t resolve symptoms

Trigger Finger

When thickened tendon sheaths cause fingers to stick or catch, we use splints or trigger finger release surgery to correct motion and relieve pain

Ganglion Cysts

These benign cysts can appear near joints or tendons
When painful or disruptive, we recommend aspiration or surgical removal

Fractures

Our team uses high-resolution imaging to assess wrist and hand fractures
Treatment ranges from casting to surgical fracture fixation to ensure full recovery

Wrist Sprains

Ligament injuries, like scapholunate tears, often result from falls
Bracing and therapy are standard, though arthroscopic repair may be required for full function

Extensor Tendon Injuries

These surface tendons control wrist and finger extension
We offer tendon repair and custom rehab to help you return to daily activities quickly and safely

De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis

Thumb-side wrist pain from tendon inflammation is treated with splints, anti-inflammatories, or surgical release when conservative care isn’t enough

Nerve Repair

Nerve trauma may cause weakness or loss of sensation
We perform nerve repair surgery to reconnect nerve pathways and restore function
