What to Expect from a Hand Specialist at HSSI

When you visit HandSport Surgery Institute, our team will guide you through every step of the diagnosis and treatment process. Here’s what you can expect:

Comprehensive Diagnosis: We begin with a detailed consultation and physical examination. We’ll ask about your symptoms, medical history, and any previous treatments. Diagnostic imaging, such as in-office X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound, may be used to get a clear view of your condition.
Personalized Treatment Plan: No two hands are the same, and neither are their treatments. After a thorough evaluation, we create a personalized plan tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, immobilization, or surgery.
State-of-the-Art Treatments: We offer both non-surgical and surgical treatments for hand and wrist conditions. Whether it’s arthroscopic surgery for wrist pain, carpal tunnel release, or ligament repair, our specialists use the latest techniques to ensure the best outcomes and minimal recovery time.

Surgical vs. Non-Surgical Treatments: What’s Right for You?

Patients often wonder if surgery is necessary or if non-surgical treatments can help. At HandSport Surgery Institute, we prioritize non-invasive options whenever possible. However, in some cases, hand surgery may be the best path to recovery. Our approach ensures that you receive the most appropriate care for your condition:

Non-Surgical Treatments:
- Immobilization with Splints or Braces: Many injuries or chronic conditions improve with proper immobilization, allowing the affected area to heal.
- Physical and Occupational Therapy: Strengthening exercises, stretches, and rehabilitation are often used for conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, or after minor injuries.
- Medications and Injections: Anti-inflammatory medications or cortisone injections may be recommended to reduce pain and inflammation.
Surgical Treatments:
- Minimally Invasive Surgery: When surgery is required, Drs. Mark and Jason Pruzansky specialize in minimally invasive techniques, which reduce recovery time and minimize scarring.
- Hand Reconstruction and Ligament Repair: For complex cases, such as fractures, tendon or ligament tears, our surgeons are experts in reconstructive surgery.
- Arthroscopic Surgery: Using advanced arthroscopic technology, we perform procedures with tiny incisions and quicker recovery.
