Nerve Injuries
What is it? Damage to the nerves of the hand and arm, which can result from pressure (compression), stretching, or cutting. This includes conditions like cubital tunnel syndrome and traumatic nerve lacerations.
Common Symptoms: Numbness, a “pins and needles” feeling, weakness, or sharp, burning pain in the area supplied by the nerve.
Our Approach: Dr. Traverso’s expertise in microvascular and nerve surgery is critical here. After a thorough diagnosis, treatment may range from splinting for mild compression to complex surgical procedures for severe injuries. These can include nerve decompression, direct nerve repair, nerve grafts, and tendon transfers to restore lost function.
