Common hand and wrist conditions

When nerves in our hands, wrists and elbows become compressed we can experience problems with our grip strength, dexterity, as well as pain and discomfort. Two of the most common hand and wrist conditions are carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome. Mr Andrew Fitzgerald, an experienced orthopaedic surgeon and expert in treating hand, wrist and elbow problems, summarises these common conditions.

What is lymphoedema and how is it treated?

Lymphoedema is a condition characterised by the swelling of the limbs caused by fluid retention. Fluid retention occurs in patients with this condition because their lymphatic system is unable to properly drain the lymph fluid. In many cases, it is the legs, arms and fingers that become swollen. It can be a difficult condition to live with, as it can cause discomfort, pain and difficulty moving. Mr Damir Kosutic, a top plastic surgeon, details the treatments available for lymphoedema, which include surgery, liposuction, and combining it with breast reconstruction surgery.

It can result from previous cancer surgery in which lymph nodes were removed, commonly done when treating breast cancer, for example. Mr Damir Kosutic, a leading plastic surgeon, discusses how he is revolutionising breast cancer surgery in using techniques that treat and prevent lymphoedema.
