Information & Treatments

The British Society for surgery of the Hand

The society provides patient information for a number of conditions via it's webpage and BSSH leaflets are often issued from clinic.

Motec Wrist Replacement

Have you been offered a wrist fusion?

If so, then wrist replacement may be an alternative. This device provides pain relief but keeps your wrist moving (average of 120 degrees range)

Denervation / Neurectomy

Nerves carry pain signals to your brain. This is useful in injury but not for arthritis.

Targeted removal of nerves can present a low risk option to reduce pain, and can be performed for many joints in the hand and wrist.

MAIA thumb base replacement

Trapeziectomy is a good procedure. 

However, if you value stronger pinch grip and a faster return to activity/work then a thumb base replacement may be a better option.
