Nerve Treatment

The nerves of the hand and wrist are essential for sensation, strength, coordination, and movement. Cuts, fractures, crush injuries, and other trauma can damage these nerves, while compression can produce symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain.Our hand and wrist specialists diagnose and treat traumatic nerve injuries, digital nerve lacerations, and conditions affecting the median, ulnar, and radial nerves. Treatment is based on the type and severity of the injury and may range from observation and therapy to nerve decompression or surgical repair when appropriate.Learn More About Nerve Injuries →

Hand & WristSports Injuriesand Arthritis

At Modern Orthopaedics of New Jersey, our award-winning surgical team treats hand and wrist pain stemming from a vast range of different causes. Two of the most common are sports injuries and arthritis.

A sports injury of the hand or wrist can range from a traumatic sprain or fracture like Skier’s Thumb and Mallet Finger, to a condition brought on by repetitive movements, such as Gymnast Wrist or Gamekeeper’s Thumb. No matter the scope or severity of the injury that is impacting your athletic performance, we’ll accurately diagnose it and develop a personalized treatment plan to get you back at the top of your game as quickly as possible. Our fellowship-trained surgeons are wholly committed to serving patients using a full range of cutting-edge approaches and techniques that include physical therapy, non-surgical treatments like focal extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP), as well as surgical interventions when necessary.

Arthritis is another common cause for pain in the hands and wrists. The most common arthritis in the hand is thumb basal joint arthritis, which can make it difficult to open jars, twist doorknobs, or turn keys. Pain, swelling, and stiffness from arthritis in any part of the fingers, hand, or wrist, however, can make it difficult or impossible to perform basic daily tasks and engage in the activities that bring you joy. At Modern Orthopaedics of New Jersey, our leading physicians take a proactive and comprehensive approach to hand and wrist pain caused by arthritis.  Our treatment approach will typically start conservatively with physical therapy, bracing, and steroid injections. For patients who are looking for a regenerative approach to their arthritis, we may offer PRP and/or extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) when appropriate.  When conservative measures fail, our surgeons will use minimally invasive procedures to address the arthritic joint. When surgery becomes necessary for permanent pain relief, all of the surgical options are discussed with our patients.  These options include joint total joint replacements, joint reconstructions, and targeted joint fusions. We implement these unique treatment strategies to achieve the best outcomes for each patient.

Hand & WristNerve Injuriesand Lacerations

A nerve injury can change how your hand feels, moves, and functions.Sometimes the cause is immediately apparent — such as a deep cut to a finger or hand. Other nerve injuries occur with fractures, dislocations, crush injuries, or other trauma. Nerves may also become compressed over time, producing persistent numbness, tingling, pain, or weakness.One particularly important sign following a laceration is new numbness beyond the location of the wound. A cut may appear to be healing normally on the surface while a digital nerve or another structure beneath the skin has also been injured.At Modern Orthopaedics of New Jersey, our hand and wrist specialists evaluate nerve injuries involving the fingers, hand, wrist, and upper extremity, including:
  • Digital nerve injuries and lacerations
  • Median nerve injuries
  • Ulnar nerve injuries
  • Radial nerve injuries
  • Traumatic nerve injuries associated with cuts, fractures, dislocations, or crush injuries
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome and other nerve compression conditions
Treatment depends on which nerve is involved and the extent of the injury. Some nerve conditions can be managed with observation, splinting, therapy, or other non-surgical care. When a nerve has been significantly compressed, damaged, or lacerated, surgical treatment may be recommended.If you have developed numbness, weakness, tingling, altered sensation, or difficulty using your hand following an injury, evaluation by a hand and wrist specialist can help determine whether a nerve has been affected and what treatment may be appropriate.

My experience with Modern Orthopaedics was absolutely positive! The staff and Dr DeNoble were wonderful to work with! My surgery went extremely well! The absolute irony is while surgery can be quite painful, I haven't been this pain free in years! I wish I had found this practice sooner! Highly recommend!

I recently had my shoulder surgery with Dr. Ratliff and Dr. Morales-Restrepo assisting at Valley, excellent hospital. Dr. Ratliff is knowledgeable and a pretty good listener. I appreciate the precision with which he gives his medical opinions. He has an engineer's eyes which I believe is critical to surgery because you want every "i" dotted and every "t" crossed. Dr. Morales-Restrepo too, always smiling with glow in eye, comforting doctor. The staff is awesome too, especially Jessie. She's very prompt in getting tasks accomplished and friendly at the same time.

With my first ever experience breaking a bone and it being my dominant hand I was terrified of how to proceed but Dr. Ratliff was understanding of the decision making and gave me all the information needed to make the best decision possible for myself, plus Jessica the surgical coordinator had also been super helpful.
