Common Hand & Wrist Conditions

Conditions affecting the hand, wrist, and upper extremity can result from injury, repetitive strain, arthritis, nerve compression, or degenerative changes. These conditions can interfere with strength, coordination, and everyday activities.

Common conditions treated by specialists include:

  • fractures of the hand and wrist
  • tendon injuries affecting finger or wrist movement
  • nerve compression disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome
  • arthritis affecting hand and wrist joints
  • ligament injuries and joint instability
  • congenital hand differences
  • traumatic injuries requiring reconstructive surgery

Early diagnosis and specialized treatment help restore mobility and prevent long-term functional limitations.

Symptoms of Hand and Wrist Conditions

Symptoms involving the hand, wrist, or upper extremity may develop gradually or occur suddenly after an injury. Recognizing early warning signs can help patients receive timely care and avoid worsening damage.

Common symptoms include:

  • pain in the hand or wrist
  • numbness or tingling in the fingers
  • weakness in grip strength
  • swelling or stiffness in the joints
  • difficulty moving the fingers or wrist
  • reduced hand coordination

If these symptoms persist or worsen, evaluation by a specialist may be recommended.

When Should You See a Hand Surgeon?

You should consider seeing a hand surgeon if symptoms affecting your hand, wrist, or upper extremity persist or interfere with daily activities. Early evaluation by a specialist can help diagnose the underlying cause and prevent worsening damage.

Medical evaluation may be recommended if you experience:

  • persistent hand or wrist pain
  • numbness or tingling in the fingers
  • weakness in grip strength
  • difficulty moving fingers or the wrist
  • swelling or stiffness that does not improve
  • pain or limited movement after an injury

A specialist such as Dr. Jonathan B. Lundy can evaluate these symptoms and recommend the most appropriate treatment, which may include non-surgical therapies, minimally invasive procedures, or surgical intervention when necessary.

Hand, Wrist & Upper Extremity Care FAQ

A hand and wrist specialist diagnoses and treats a wide range of conditions affecting the hand, wrist, forearm, and elbow. Common conditions include fractures, tendon injuries, nerve compression disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis of the hand or wrist, ligament injuries, and traumatic injuries requiring reconstructive care.

You should consider seeing a hand surgeon if you experience persistent pain, numbness, weakness, or loss of movement in the hand or wrist. Symptoms such as tingling in the fingers, difficulty gripping objects, swelling, or pain after an injury may indicate a condition that requires specialized evaluation and treatment.

Upper extremity surgery refers to surgical procedures that treat conditions affecting the hand, wrist, forearm, and elbow. These procedures may involve repairing fractures, relieving nerve compression, reconstructing damaged tendons or ligaments, or correcting deformities that affect movement and function.

No. Many hand and wrist conditions can be treated with non-surgical approaches such as splinting, therapy, injections, or medication. Surgery may be recommended when conservative treatments do not relieve symptoms or when injuries significantly affect movement, strength, or nerve function.

Common symptoms include pain in the hand or wrist, numbness or tingling in the fingers, weakness in grip strength, swelling or stiffness in the joints, and difficulty moving the fingers or wrist. If these symptoms persist or worsen, evaluation by a specialist may be recommended.

Recovery time varies depending on the type of procedure and the severity of the condition. Some patients may return to light activities within a few weeks, while more complex reconstructive procedures may require a longer recovery period combined with physical or occupational therapy.

Treatment options may include non-surgical therapies such as splinting, physical therapy, and injections, as well as minimally invasive procedures or reconstructive surgery. Treatment plans are tailored to each patient’s condition, symptoms, and functional goals.
