Upper Extremity/Hand Surgery

Johns Hopkins Bayview's Orthopaedics Hand Surgery Program offers a comprehensive service, complete with board-certified hand surgeons, as well as occupational therapists, nurse practitioners and physician assistants who support patients from diagnosis to recovery.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a frequent condition. Our surgeons specialize in mini-open and endoscopic carpal tunnel release to release pressure on the injured nerve. Smaller incision surgery allows for a less pain, shorter recovery and a faster return to work.

From trauma-type injuries to degenerative arthritis, Johns Hopkins Bayview surgeons treat all other types of hand problems. Distal radius, carpal (wrist) bones and finger fractures are routinely managed. "Trigger finger" and other repetitive-use tendon injuries are commonly assessed and treated. Micro-surgical techniques are utilized to reattach extremities, repair damaged nerves and revascularize damaged vessels in those patients with vascular problems. Reconstructing finger joints and addressing congenital abnormalities are among other routine procedures performed in our ambulatory care center.
