Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common conditions affecting the hand and wrist, and it is a core focus of care for hand surgeons. Dr. Thomas Neustein is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon with fellowship training in hand and upper extremity surgery, with extensive experience treating nerve compression disorders using both minimally invasive and traditional techniques. Patients considering carpal tunnel release surgery often ask whether endoscopic or open surgery is more appropriate. The answer depends on the individual patient, the severity of symptoms, and careful clinical evaluation.
Nighttime hand numbness is a common and often disruptive problem. Many patients describe waking with a numb feeling, tingling, or discomfort in their hands, sometimes needing to shake them to regain sensation. While this can occur occasionally in healthy individuals, persistent or recurring symptoms often reflect an underlying issue involving nerve compression or irritation.
Thumb arthritis is a common cause of pain at the base of the thumb that can interfere with everyday life. Patients in Dawsonville often notice discomfort when opening jars, turning keys, writing, or pinching objects. As cartilage wears down within the CMC joint, the bones rub together, causing inflammation, stiffness, and reduced motion of the hand and wrist.
Distal radius fractures are among the most common orthopedic injuries affecting the hand and wrist. Patients in Dawsonville GA frequently experience wrist fractures after falls, sports injuries, or accidents involving the upper extremity. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment help restore alignment of the bone, reduce pain, and support recovery of motion and function.
