At Mayo Clinic Healthcare in London, our orthopaedic specialists provide expert assessment and diagnosis of hand and wrist conditions.
Hands and wrists are highly complex structures that enable fine motor function, strength, and coordination. When affected by injury, overuse, or underlying disease, even simple daily tasks can become difficult.
Working collaboratively, each orthopaedic hand specialist uses advanced diagnostic imaging and clinical evaluation to identify the underlying cause of symptoms and develop a personalised plan for your care. Our approach is focused on delivering precise diagnosis and coordinated care, helping restore function and improve quality of life.
Hand and wrist orthopaedic care is a specialised area of medicine focused on diagnosing and managing conditions affecting the bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, and nerves of the hand and wrist.
An expert orthopaedic hand specialist at Mayo Clinic Healthcare evaluates a wide range of conditions, from acute injuries such as fractures and sprains to chronic disorders including arthritis, tendon conditions, and nerve compression syndromes.
Hands and wrists have multiple small bones and intricate structures, and even minor abnormalities can affect movement, grip strength, and dexterity. Accurate diagnosis is essential to ensure appropriate treatment and recovery.
You may benefit from an assessment with an orthopaedic doctor for hands and wrists if you experience:
Symptoms can vary depending on the underlying cause. For example, nerve compression conditions, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, may cause tingling and numbness, while arthritis may be present with stiffness or aching pain.
If left untreated, some conditions can lead to worsening symptoms, reduced function, or long term disability. Early diagnosis allows for more effective management and improved outcomes.
Hand and wrist conditions can arise from a range of causes, including injury, repetitive use, and underlying medical conditions.
Falling onto an outstretched hand is one of the most common causes of wrist injury and fracture.
Repeated hand or wrist movement can irritate tendons and surrounding tissues, leading to pain and reduced function.
Wrist and hand pain can result from long term conditions such as arthritis or nerve compression, which may develop gradually over time.
As symptoms often overlap, a thorough assessment by an orthopaedic doctor for hands and wrists is essential to determine the underlying cause.
Your orthopaedic doctor at Mayo Clinic Healthcare London will take a detailed medical history, evaluate your symptoms, and perform a physical examination. This may include assessing joint movement, grip strength, nerve function, and areas of tenderness.
Our consultants use MSK imaging to support early diagnosis and create personalised treatment plans, with same-day results provided whenever possible.
