Understanding your options
Common problems include carpal tunnel syndrome, elbow tendon pain, fractures and ligament injuries. The assessment considers movement, sensation and the tasks you need to perform.
Care for your circumstances
Splinting, rehabilitation and other non-surgical care may help. Where a procedure is appropriate, its effect on strength, stability and movement is discussed.
