There are many different causes of hand disorders. Pain in the hand can be caused by, among other things, overloading the tendons and causing irritation. Tendon irritation manifests itself as, for example, carpal tunnel syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome and jumper's finger. Similarly, hand pain can be caused by deformities or be the result of damage to tendons, joints, nerves or bones.
Hand disorders are a major nuisance in everyday life. That's why we at Capio Privathospital are pleased that we can quickly offer you an appointment for professional treatment. Our surgical staff are used to treating a wide range of hand-related problems, and they will always perform a thorough preliminary examination to ensure you get the right treatment.
Springfinger
Trigger finger is caused by irritation of the flexor tendons in the fingers and can result in pain, reduced mobility, and a locking sensation in the finger. The condition is common and can be treated with medication or a minor surgical procedure.
Trigger finger (Dupuytren's contracture)
Dupuytren's contracture (Dupuytren's contracture) is a condition where one or more fingers bend in towards the palm of the hand so that they cannot be extended. The condition is caused by a thickening of the connective tissue in the palm of the hand and can affect one or both hands. It's not painful to have clubbing, but it can be hugely debilitating because the affected fingers can't extend. It is also hereditary and is more common in people with diabetes.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when a nerve in the wrist becomes compressed. This can cause pain, tingling, and numbness in the hand—often worse at night. The condition can be treated with a minor surgical procedure.
Tendon node (Ganglion)
A tendon knot, also called a ganglion, is a bulge of connective tissue around a joint or tendon, often on the back of the hand or at the wrist. It consists of a mucous sac with a jelly-like, fluid content that makes them feel firm and sometimes slightly elastic when touched. The condition is common and is slightly more common in women than men.
It's important to see if the knot can be relieved on its own. If relief does not have the desired effect, the tendon knot can be removed with a small surgical procedure.
Tendinitis
Tendinitis occurs when the tendon sheath at the wrist becomes constricted and irritates the tendons. This can cause pain on the thumb side of the hand and reduced mobility. The condition can be treated with a minor surgical procedure.
Wrist surgery (arthroscopy)
At Capio Private Hospital, we perform arthroscopic wrist surgery. An arthroscopic surgery is a gentle form of surgery that makes it possible to both examine and treat many wrist problems. Our experienced specialists will assess which treatment is right for you.
