Dr. Dolf R. Ichtertz
Board Certified in Orthopaedics & Hand Surgery
We at the Nebraska Hand & Shoulder Institute, P.C. believe that prevention and elimination of painful or debilitating conditions of the upper and lower extremities can be consistently offered by making a concerted effort at education through research, conferences, and offering services at convenient locations, bringing the treatment to the patient as much as possible. The vigilant efforts made by Dr. Ichtertz and staff on improving patients' outcomes have led to offering a host of the least invasive, minimally uncomfortable, definitive treatment options rarely offered elsewhere for problems such as tennis elbow (percutaneous tenotomy), trigger finger (percutaneous A-1 pulley release), Dupuytren's (percutaneus fascial band release), tarsal tunnel syndrome, wrist arthritis and painful wrist instability (percutaneous wrist denervation), arthroscopic meniscal repair and arthroscopic rotator cuff repair among other treatment protocols.
