The vigilant efforts made by Dr. Ichtertz and staff on improving patients' outcomes have led to a host of the least invasive, minimally uncomfortable, definitive treatment options for problems such as tennis elbow (percutaneous tenotomy), trigger finger (percutaneous A-1 pulley release), wrist arthritis and painful wrist instability (percutaneous wrist denervation), among other treatment protocols.
