At UVM Health Network - CVMC our orthopedic surgeons, including our board certified hand and microvascular surgeon, diagnose and treat all types of hand, wrist, and elbow problems. Your hands and wrists are intricate structures containing over 2 dozen small bones; a network of ligaments, tendons and muscles; and a web of blood vessels and nerve endings, which give you your sense of touch. Because we use our hands and arms for so many common activities, they are vulnerable to injury. Wrist injury, hand disorders, and elbow conditions are common and can cause pain, loss of sensation, loss of movement, and impaired function. Overuse injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis are among the most common causes of pain.
Arthritis is condition that involves the breakdown of the protective cartilage around the joints, which results in pain, stiffness and inflammation. Biceps tenodesis is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to repair a rupture or partial tear of the biceps tendon. In this procedure, the biceps tendon is reattached to the humerus upper arm bone. Carpal tunnel release surgery is performed on patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome.
We rely on our hands every day, but arthritis, trauma and repetitive movements can take its toll, leading to debilitating pain and stiffness. Our team of specialty-trained hand surgeons, hand-certified therapists and staff work together to improve function, reduce pain and get you back to doing the things you love. Widely respected for our hand and wrist expertise, Panorama Orthopedics serves as a trauma referral center for hand and wrist injuries.
