Current Practice
Miss Sarkhel's areas of interest include Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, surgery for arthritis at the base of the thumb (including trapeziectomy), wrist arthritis, Dupuytren’s contracture, lumps and bumps of the hand, ligamentous injuries and wrist arthroscopy.
In 2011, Miss Sarkhel joined Surrey Orthopaedic Clinic, a specialist orthopaedic and sports surgery group providing a complete package of musculoskeletal care. Surrey Orthopaedic Clinic is a multidisciplinary group of professionals practising out of The Runnymede Hospital and other private hospitals.
Her NHS practice is with the Rowley Bristow Orthopaedic Unit, part of Ashford & St Peter’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in Chertsey, Surrey. She practices privately at the adjacent Runnymede Hospital.
Clinical Interests
- Basal thumb osteoarthritis
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Dupuytren's disease
- Finger joint
- Ligamentous reconstruction
- Nerve compression syndromes
- Trigger fingers
- Wrist arthritis and arthroscopy.
Miss Sarkhal also has expertise in the longer-term sequelae of injury such as healing with deformity after fracture and ligamentous injury between the small bones of the wrist.
She is very conscious that not every hand and wrist problem requires an operation and works very closely with both Rheumatology colleagues and specialist hand therapists on both non-operative and operative techniques to improve comfort and function. Wrist arthroscopy makes an important contribution to her practice as well as open surgery such as total and partial fusions of the wrist.
