Back to homeA closer look.
A clearer understanding.
Five connected families.
Explore the structures behind
the movements that matter.
Nerve
compression.
When sensation changes, everyday movement changes too. Explore conditions affecting the nerves of the hand, wrist and elbow.
Carpal tunnel Cubital tunnel Ulnar & radial nerves Peripheral nerve injury
Explore conditionsClose chapter — Nerve Compression
Tunnel syndromes
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Pressure on the median nerve at the wrist.
- Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
- Pressure on the ulnar nerve around the elbow.
Ulnar & radial nerve compression
- Ulnar Nerve Compression
- Compression along the ulnar nerve, including at the wrist.
- Radial Nerve Compression
- Compression affecting the radial nerve or its branches.
Peripheral nerve injury
- Peripheral Nerve Injury / Complex Nerve Problems
- Assessment of injured nerves and more complex changes in sensation or movement.
Care starts with understanding your symptoms.
Discuss your concernWrist &
ligament injuries.
Small structures. Remarkable precision. A closer look at the ligaments and supporting tissues that help the wrist move with confidence.
Explore conditionsClose chapter — Wrist & Ligament Injuries
TFCC & scapholunate injuries
- TFCC Injury
- Injury to the supporting cartilage and ligaments on the little-finger side of the wrist.
- Scapholunate Ligament Injury
- Injury to the ligament connecting the scaphoid and lunate wrist bones.
Wrist instability & sprains
- Wrist Instability
- Problems with the way the wrist bones are supported and move together.
- Wrist Sprain
- A stretched or injured wrist ligament.
Wrist ganglion & related problems
- Wrist Ganglion Cyst
- A fluid-filled cyst arising near a joint or tendon sheath; not a ligament tear.
- Related Wrist Soft-Tissue Problems
- Assessment of persistent wrist symptoms when the cause is not yet clear.
Care starts with understanding your symptoms.
Discuss your concernTendon &
soft tissue.
From holding a cup to opening your hand, smooth movement depends on tendons and soft tissues working together.
Trigger finger De Quervain’s Flexor & extensor injuries Dupuytren’s disease
Explore conditionsClose chapter — Tendon & Soft Tissue
Trigger finger & De Quervain’s
- Trigger Finger
- Catching or locking as a finger bends and straightens.
- De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis
- Pain involving the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist.
Flexor & extensor tendon injuries
- Flexor Tendon Injury
- Injury to a tendon that bends a finger or the thumb.
- Extensor Tendon Injury
- Injury to a tendon that straightens a finger or the thumb.
Dupuytren’s disease
- Dupuytren’s Disease
- Thickening and contracture of the palmar fascia, the connective tissue beneath the skin; not a tendon injury.
Care starts with understanding your symptoms.
Discuss your concernFractures
& trauma.
After an injury, understanding what has happened is the first step. Care across fractures, dislocations and more complex hand and wrist trauma.
Distal radius Scaphoid Finger & metacarpal fractures Dislocations
Explore conditionsClose chapter — Fractures & Trauma
Wrist fractures
- Distal Radius Fracture
- A break near the wrist end of the radius, one of the forearm bones.
- Scaphoid Fracture
- A break in a small wrist bone on the thumb side.
Hand & finger fractures
- Metacarpal Fracture
- A break in one of the bones forming the palm.
- Finger Fracture
- A break in one of the bones of a finger.
Dislocations & complex trauma
- Hand / Wrist Dislocation
- A joint injury in which the bones move out of their usual alignment.
- Complex Hand & Wrist Trauma
- Injuries involving more than one structure in the hand or wrist.
Care starts with understanding your symptoms.
Discuss your concernArthritis &
joint disease.
When joints become painful or stiff, familiar tasks can feel different. Explore the conditions that affect comfort, mobility and everyday hand function.
Thumb base Wrist & finger arthritis Post-traumatic arthritis Stiffness & degeneration
Explore conditionsClose chapter — Arthritis & Joint Disease
Thumb & finger arthritis
- Thumb Base Arthritis
- Arthritis at the joint where the thumb meets the wrist.
- Finger Arthritis
- Joint changes affecting finger comfort, movement and dexterity.
Wrist & post-traumatic arthritis
- Wrist Arthritis
- Arthritis affecting one or more of the joints that move the wrist.
- Post-Traumatic Arthritis
- Joint degeneration related to an earlier fracture or ligament injury.
Joint stiffness & degeneration
- Hand & Wrist Joint Stiffness
- Reduced movement after injury, protection, surgery or joint disease.
- Degenerative Joint Problems
- Joint changes assessed alongside symptoms and useful hand function.
Care starts with understanding your symptoms.
