When this treatment may help
A catching finger, nighttime tingling or difficulty gripping can have different causes. The practice describes trigger finger, carpal tunnel syndrome, thumb-base arthritis and Dupuytren’s contracture as consultation topics.
How the treatment works
Movement, sensation and the affected structures are assessed first. Further findings may be needed depending on the suspected cause. Not every hand problem requires surgery; conservative options are also considered.
Your surgical consultation
After assessment, we discuss options and the demands of your work and daily life. Dr. Bohmann can support referral but does not currently operate. The selected hand surgery team plans the procedure.
What you can expect
Goals depend on the condition: less pain, improved movement or relief of pressure on a nerve. The extent of recovery also depends on how long symptoms have been present and their severity.
Limitations and possible risks
Risks include wound-healing problems, infection, scar discomfort or nerve injury. Persistent sensory symptoms need careful assessment. The operating team personally explains the possibilities and limitations.
Preparing for your appointment
Bring previous findings, any nerve studies and your medication list. Describe typical work demands. If surgery is planned, discuss hand therapy, work capacity and everyday support beforehand.
Costs and insurance
Consultation, referral and surgery are separate steps. Insurance coverage, hospital choice and possible private costs need clarification before deciding. Surgery is not performed at the practice.
