SMALL JOINT PROCEDURES
Advanced Suturing Solutions
Small joint procedures play a crucial role in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the fingers, toes, wrists, and ankles. With advancements in minimally invasive techniques, these procedures help restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve patients’ quality of life. Whether caused by arthritis, trauma, sports injuries, or degenerative conditions, small joint surgeries provide effective solutions for long-term joint health.
Common Small Joint Procedures:
🔹 Arthroscopy – A minimally invasive technique used to diagnose and treat joint conditions with a small camera and specialized instruments.
🔹 Joint Fusion (Arthrodesis) – Performed to stabilize joints affected by severe arthritis or deformities.
🔹 Ligament & Tendon Repair – Essential for restoring stability and function after injuries.
🔹 Cartilage Restoration – Techniques such as microfracture, autograft, or synthetic implants help regenerate damaged cartilage.
🔹 Joint Replacement (Arthroplasty) – Total or partial joint replacement for severe joint degeneration, commonly performed on finger and toe joints.
🔹 Fracture Fixation – Using screws, plates, or pins to stabilize small joint fractures.
🔹 Trigger Finger Release – A surgical solution for locked or stiff fingers caused by tendon inflammation.
Key Benefits of Small Joint Procedures:
✅ Minimally Invasive Options – Reduces recovery time, minimizes scarring, and lowers infection risk.
✅ Pain Relief & Improved Functionality – Addresses chronic pain and restores joint mobility.
✅ Precision Techniques – Advanced imaging and surgical tools ensure accurate and effective treatment.
✅ Faster Recovery – Many procedures allow patients to regain movement within weeks.
✅ Customizable Approaches – Tailored to individual patient needs based on severity and condition.
