  • Can hand burn scar be fixed?

    READ MORE

  • Can a chiropractor help with wrist pain?

    Not usually. I would first recommend a visit to a hand surgeon. Most people do not need surgery of course. However, they are likely to best understand the source of the pain and how to treat it. READ MORE

  • Can you repair nerve damage in the arm?

    That’s a complicated question with no simple answer. It depends on the nerve and the extent of the damage. Consult a hand surgeon to understand your options. READ MORE

  • Can an ultrasound show tendinitis healed?

    Ultrasound won’t show too much in regards to the tendinitis. Maybe a little bit of extra fluid around the tendon. In my opinion, I’m not sure it’s worth the trouble if you are getting better.

  • Do you go under general anesthesia for hand nerve surgery?

    Sometimes yes. Sometimes no. It depends on your diagnosis and surgeon preference. Harrison B. Solomon, M.D. Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics Montgomery Orthopaedics Division 301-949-8100 HOOK SPLINT www.Hooksplint.com READ MORE

  • Broken wrist problems?

    That’s unfortunate and I’m sorry to hear that. I would check with her orthopedic surgeon first. Make sure the bone is in good alignment. After that, hand therapy is the key. Harrison B.

  • Do you have to be put to sleep for hand surgery?

    Not always! It depends on your surgeon and the surgery being performed. Harrison B. Solomon, M.D. Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics Montgomery Orthopaedics Division 301-949-8100 HOOK SPLINT www.Hooksplint.com READ MORE

  • How is a nerve block done for hand surgery?

    Local anesthetic is injected around the nerves which supply sensation to the surgical site so that the area does not feel any pain. Harrison B. Solomon, M.D. Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics Montgomery Orthopaedics Division 301-949-8100 HOOK SPLINT www.Hooksplint.com READ MORE

  • Do orthopedic doctors treat ganglion cysts?

    Yes they do! READ MORE

  • How long is physical therapy after finger surgery?

    It depends on the problem. Sometimes it’s not needed at all. Sometimes, months of therapy are needed. READ MORE

  • How can I make a ganglion cyst go away?

    Well, without surgery or aspiration, you can’t really make it go away. However sometimes they will go away on their own. Harrison B. Solomon, M.D. Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics Montgomery Orthopaedics Division 301-949-8100 HOOK SPLINT www.Hooksplint.com READ MORE

  • Can laser remove old scars?

    That is a better question for a cosmetic dermatologist. More likely, Laser works best for relatively young scars. And is most likely less effective for older scars. Harrison B.

  • Can a chiropractor help with hand joint pain?

  • Fixing stubborn trigger finger?

    Don’t worry! This is easy to treat and fix. You may need surgery now or could try a cortisone shot. READ MORE

  • Crooked index finger surgery?

    This may or may not be fixable. I would recommend you look locally for a pediatric hand surgeon to get an opinion. READ MORE

  • Can you get plastic surgery for hand burns?

    Check with a cosmetic dermatologist to consider laser treatments. READ MORE

  • Can scars on hand be completely removed?

    No, not completely. But the laser is sometimes a good option. READ MORE

    I recommend you see a hand surgeon. It needs to be evaluated in person. READ MORE
