- Arthritis, sports-related injuries, fractures and other hand trauma – In cases of severe pain or dysfunction, Dr. Root may recommend an innovative approach such as ultrasound-guided injections, tendon reconstruction, microvascular surgery or joint replacement surgery.
- Dupuytren’s contracture – To straighten curled fingers, Dr. Root may suggest a non-surgical in-office procedure known as needle aponeurotomy, which involves injecting medication into the hand and using a needle to weaken thickened cords of tissue.
