Orthopaedic Surgeon & Hand Specialist FAQs
An orthopaedic surgeon diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. At Nebraska Hand & Shoulder Institute, we focus on conditions involving the hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, and knees, including injuries, arthritis, and nerve-related conditions.
You should see a hand specialist if you experience persistent pain, numbness, weakness, or limited movement in your hand, wrist, or fingers. Early evaluation by a qualified hand specialist can help prevent further damage and improve treatment outcomes.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve, which typically does not resolve on its own over time. At Nebraska Hand & Shoulder Institute, our team will perform a thorough examination and may recommend a nerve conduction study to confirm the diagnosis and determine the severity of the condition. Our experienced hand surgeon will help you determine the most appropriate course of care based on your symptoms and diagnostic results.
A hand surgeon treats a wide range of conditions, including carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, tendon injuries, fractures, arthritis, and Dupuytren’s contracture. Treatment options may include both non-surgical and surgical approaches depending on the severity of the condition.
Choosing the right orthopaedic doctor involves looking for board certification, experience in treating your specific condition, and a personalized approach to care. At Nebraska Hand & Shoulder Institute, we focus on creating customized treatment plans to help each patient achieve the best possible outcome.
