Thumb-base arthritis requiring specialist assessment and treatment planning.
Who is it suitable for?
Adults with a diagnosed or suspected hand/wrist condition requiring specialist assessment. Surgery is not automatically necessary for every case.
What happens at your appointment?
Your first appointment is a specialist consultation rather than surgery. The partner clinician reviews diagnosis/anatomy, options, alternatives, risks, recovery, scarring and expected outcome. A procedure date is arranged only after suitability and consent are complete.
Before your appointment
The hand specialist provides preparation based on the procedure, anaesthesia and individual health history.
Downtime & aftercare
Recovery depends on the condition and procedure. The specialist may give advice about dressings, hand elevation, movement, splinting, work, driving and therapy.
Recommended course
The number of appointments depends on diagnosis, investigations, surgery and rehabilitation needs.
