Surgical Hand, Wrist and Elbow Procedures
If nonsurgical treatment doesn’t relieve painful symptoms with carpal tunnel syndrome or other conditions, minimally invasive surgery may resolve the discomfort. This may involve small incisions and less muscle damage. Orthopedic surgeons and hand specialists will work with you to determine if this route is necessary with an exam, X-ray and consultation.
Our expert surgeons also offer wide-awake surgery, an innovative technique that eliminates the need for general anesthesia. You remain awake and pain-free during your procedure, avoiding the side effects of sedation while benefiting from real-time interaction with your surgeon, faster recovery and improved outcomes.
Rehabilitation Plan for Best Possible Outcome
With Avera, you have access to the industry’s best technology and procedures. Our surgeons use the latest techniques and most advanced technology for the best possible outcome. When you know what to expect with recovery, better outcomes are possible. Your orthopedic care team will help you plan for what comes next after surgery. We will help take care of everything post-operation — from medications to home care and physical therapy. Just show up for your surgery, and we’ll take care of the rest.
