Expert Care for Hand and Wrist Relief in Queens

Even simple tasks can become overwhelming when hand or wrist pain strikes. The experts at NY Sports & Joints take a compassionate, individualized approach to care, whether you're facing a sports injury, arthritis, or need reconstructive surgery. Using state-of-the-art technology and a deep commitment to your well-being, we work to relieve pain, restore movement, and improve your quality of life.

How Your Hand and Wrist Work

Every movement—gripping, writing, waving—depends on a complex network of bones, nerves, and connective tissue. Knowing what’s happening inside your hand and wrist can help you better understand the cause of your discomfort and how to treat it.

Your hand and wrist include:

  • Wrist (carpal) bones that form the base of your hand
  • Metacarpal bones that support your palm
  • Finger bones (phalanges) that give your hand movement and precision
  • Ligaments and tendons that hold everything in place and allow motion
  • Nerves (median, radial, ulnar) that control feeling and coordination
  • Muscles in the forearm and hand that power movement

Our specialists use advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to assess every part of this structure so we can treat what’s causing your pain at its source.

Targeted Solutions for Hand and Wrist Conditions

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  • Pressure on the median nerve can cause numbness, tingling, and weakness
  • We begin with non-surgical treatments such as splinting, physical therapy, and corticosteroid injections
  • For lasting relief, we offer carpal tunnel release, a minimally invasive surgical option

Tendonitis & Repetitive Stress Injuries

  • Overuse injuries can inflame tendons and limit movement
  • We treat these with rest, splints, therapy, and anti-inflammatory medications
  • When necessary, we use ultrasound-guided injections, tendon sheath release, or surgical tendon repair for lasting relief

Trigger Finger

  • When tendons thicken and fingers lock or catch, we provide care ranging from splinting and injections
  • to trigger finger release surgery, a quick and effective outpatient procedure

Ganglion Cysts

  • These benign, fluid-filled masses may press on nearby structures or hinder motion
  • We treat them with aspiration or surgical cyst removal, based on your symptoms and location

Fractures of the Hand and Wrist

  • Whether caused by falls, impact, or sports, fractures are carefully diagnosed using advanced imaging
  • We provide fracture repair through casting, splinting, or surgical stabilization to promote proper healing

Arthritis (Thumb base and other joints)

  • Arthritis can affect thumb and finger joints, leading to stiffness and difficulty with daily tasks
  • We offer conservative care, including bracing, steroid injections, and activity modification
  • In advanced cases, we may recommend arthrodesis (joint fusion) or arthroscopic wrist surgery for improved stability

Wrist Sprains and Ligament Tears

  • Ligament damage—especially to the scapholunate ligament—can cause pain and instability
  • We offer bracing, therapy, and arthroscopic repair for complete ligament restoration

Extensor Tendon Injuries

  • Surface-level tendons are prone to laceration or trauma
  • We offer personalized care, including splinting, tendon repair surgery, and guided rehabilitation

De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis

  • This painful thumb-side condition responds well to splinting, anti-inflammatories, and injections
  • For persistent cases, we offer tendon sheath release surgery

Nerve Injuries

  • When nerves are damaged by trauma or compression, we use advanced diagnostics and microsurgical nerve repair to restore sensation and motor control

FAQs

Is therapy part of recovery?

Can I use my hand right after surgery?

What are the risks of surgery?

Is the surgery itself painful?

What about scarring?

Is therapy part of recovery?

Absolutely. Post-operative therapy is key to restoring full function. Your care team will guide you through exercises that build strength, flexibility, and range of motion.

Can I use my hand right after surgery?

You’ll need to avoid strenuous use for a few weeks. Healing takes time, and your surgeon will provide a personalized timeline for activity.

What are the risks of surgery?

Although uncommon, risks include infection, nerve injury, joint stiffness, and slow healing. We take every precaution to minimize these risks and support a smooth recovery.

Is the surgery itself painful?

No. Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. You may feel soreness afterward, but we’ll provide a comprehensive plan to manage post-op discomfort.

What about scarring?

Some scarring is expected, but we use refined techniques to make incisions as small as possible. Over time, most scars become barely noticeable.
