Hand, wrist, foot and ankle problems may seem minor but can have a big impact on work, walking and daily life.
We treat them first with splints, exercises and injections, and with minor surgery when needed, usually as a day case.
When is it needed?
- Numb fingers, especially at night
- A finger that locks or clicks
- Repeated ankle sprains
- Heel pain in the morning or a drifting big toe
What to expect
- 01Examination, and nerve conduction tests when needed
- 02Splints, orthotic footwear or injections
- 03Day-case surgery for cases that do not respond
- 04Exercises to restore strength and movement
Recovery
Minor hand procedures such as carpal tunnel release recover within a few weeks; foot and ankle surgery takes longer depending on the procedure.
