At The Nottingham NHS Treatment Centre, we offer a comprehensive
elective (non-trauma) hand surgery service. All outpatient
consultations are performed at the Treatment Centre, as are all day
case surgical procedures. More complex cases or those
requiring inpatient stay are performed at the Queen's Medical
Centre. All activity is performed or closely supervised by
experienced Consultant Hand Surgeons. The commoner conditions
that we assess and treat include carpal and cubital tunnel
syndrome, Dupuytren's disease, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid
arthritis affecting the hand joints, hand tumours (lumps and bumps)
and ganglia, triggering digits and De Quervain's disease.
Many conditions are treated by injections performed in the
outpatients department. Surgical procedures are usually
performed under either local or regional block (where the whole arm
is made numb by injection of local anaesthetic but the patient
remains awake so that they recover more quickly) anaesthetic.
