When is Hand Surgery Necessary for Hand Pain Relief
Typically, an orthopedic hand surgeon will advise non-surgical alternatives, but on occasion surgery is necessary. The most common reason for pursuing a surgical option is to treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome through arthroscopy. Our IBJI surgeons will perform this minimally invasive surgery by making a small incision on the wrist, then sending a camera called an endoscope into the body in order to see where damage must be treated. Once surgery is successfully completed and pain subsides, our patients can expect an average recovery time near twelve weeks. Recovery time is contingent on the healing process of the individual, the type of surgery, and the speed at which the patient decides to address the problem.
