Private hand and wrist surgery in Rochdale

If you are living with chronic pain or stiffness in your joints, it can feel like things will never get better. It’s easy to feel down when you are living with pain and discomfort every day. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

At The Highfield Hospital, our Orthopaedic Consultants are ready and waiting to investigate and diagnose your hand and wrist problems. They are experts in the field of bones and joints, with years of experience in managing, reducing or even stopping hand and wrist pain in patients of all ages and backgrounds.

Don’t put up with pain. Get in touch today online or call us on 01706 655121 to see how we could help you feel like you again.

Your first appointment at The Highfield Hospital will be with your Orthopaedic Consultant, also known as an Orthopaedic Surgeon. They will take the time to get to know you and your symptoms, discussing the reasons that brought you to them as well as performing a physical examination. They might also send you for diagnostic tests, for example an X-ray, MRI or CT scan to take a closer look at the structures inside your hand or wrist.

Once a diagnosis has been made, your Orthopaedic Consultant will work with a multidisciplinary team of specialists to establish a customised treatment plan based on your diagnosis and individual needs. This could include private physiotherapy sessions with one of our dedicated Physiotherapists, or injection therapy (a course of steroid injections) to relieve swelling and pain in your affected hand or wrist, helping you regain control over your hands.

Your Orthopaedic Surgeon will only consider surgery after alternative treatment options have been exhausted. Get your diagnosis and personalised treatment plan for hand or wrist problems by booking your consultation online today or calling our team on 01706 655121.

At The Highfield Hospital, our Orthopaedic Specialists can perform a variety of procedures for your hand or wrist problems, including:

Hand surgery for Dupuytren’s disease starting from £2,818*

Dupuytren’s disease, also known as Dupuytren’s Contracture, occurs when or more of your fingers start to point towards your palm. During its early stages, it can cause lumps to appear on the surface of your palm. As your condition progresses, your affected finger could become trapped in a bent position. Hand surgery for Dupuytren’s disease will involve straightening your affected finger through a surgical incision or insertion of a needle.

Carpal tunnel release surgery starting from £1,579*

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by a compression of your median nerve (a nerve that travels through the front of your wrist). This compression can cause pain or a tingling sensation in your fingers and hands.

Your Orthopaedic Surgeon can relieve these symptoms through carpal tunnel release surgery, where your carpal ligament (a band of tissue across the top of your wrist) is cut to provide the nerves in your hand with more space to move.

Trigger finger release surgery starting from £2,604*

Stenosing tenosynovitis, more commonly referred to as trigger finger, can create pain at the base of your finger or thumb. It can also lead to stiffness or a locking sensation when you attempt to bend or straighten your finger or thumb. Trigger finger release surgery can help you regain movement, and it is unlikely that the problem will reappear in your operated finger or thumb following surgery.

Wrist arthroscopy starting from £3,720* 

A wrist arthroscopy is an operation to diagnose problems in the wrist. A tiny camera is passed through an incision in your wrist so that your Surgeon can see inside the joint. If possible, they will also perform treatment during the procedure. It can be used to treat conditions including ganglion cysts (fluid-filled bumps near your joint or tendons) and to remove any loose bone or cartilage inside your joint.
