The Lapiplasty procedure is a modern approach designed to correct bunions at their source, restoring natural foot alignment in three dimensions.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) causes hand and wrist numbness, tingling, or weakness due to compression of the median nerve at the wrist. Orthopedic treatments can relieve symptoms and restore hand function.
During a carpal tunnel release procedure, a small incision is made in the palm of the hand and the transverse carpal ligament is cut to release the pressure on the median nerve. This procedure can help to alleviate symptoms and improve function in the hand.
Recovery time after carpal tunnel syndrome surgery varies depending on the individual and the type of procedure performed. Patients may need to wear a splint or brace for several weeks following surgery to protect the incision and promote proper healing. Physical therapy may also be recommended to help regain strength and function in the hand and wrist.
If you’re experiencing numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand or wrist, don’t wait to seek help. Early evaluation and treatment can prevent symptoms from worsening and improve your quality of life.
