Synergy Orthopedics surgeons provide hand and wrist-related treatments for various conditions at UC San Diego East Campus Medical Center. The hand and wrist treatment plans are developed based on each patient’s diagnosis, symptoms, and overall health. Care may include non-surgical management, rehabilitation, or surgical treatment when appropriate.
Hand & wrist surgery is a procedure used to treat conditions that cause ongoing pain, stiffness, and limitations in daily activities. It may be considered when symptoms persist despite non-surgical treatments such as medication, physical therapy, activity modification, or assistive devices. Some conditions that may lead to hand & wrist surgery include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, and fractures or post-traumatic arthritis.
Synergy Orthopedics surgeons may recommend hand & wrist surgery for individuals with hip pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, hip fractures, or other degenerative joint disorders. Procedures may include non-surgical and surgical treatments, such as orthobiologics and physical therapy.
The most appropriate surgical approach depends on a patient’s anatomy, diagnosis, medical history, activity level, and treatment goals. Patients considering hand and wrist surgery can discuss available treatment options with Synergy Orthopedics surgeons to determine the approach that best aligns with their individual needs.
After Synergy Orthopedics surgeons perform hand & wrist surgery at UC San Diego, patients go through recovery. The recovery varies based on factors such as overall health, age, activity level, surgical approach, and adherence to rehabilitation recommendations.

Hip replacement surgery may be considered for adults of various ages. The decision is based on factors such as symptoms, joint damage, overall health, activity level, and treatment goals rather than age alone.
Hip implant longevity varies among patients and may be influenced by factors including activity level, age, bone quality, implant type, and overall health. Patients should discuss expectations with their orthopedic surgeon.
Total hip replacement involves replacing both the ball and socket portions of the hip joint. Partial hip replacement replaces only the femoral head and is commonly used for specific fracture-related conditions.
Activity recommendations vary by patient and should be discussed with the treating surgeon. Many patients can participate in low-impact activities after recovery, depending on their individual circumstances.
Recovery timelines vary. Many patients continue to improve over several months following surgery, although individual experiences vary. A physician can provide guidance based on a patient’s specific condition and treatment plan.
