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.
