HAND, WRIST & UPPER EXTREMITY SURGERY CENTER IN LANCASTER, CA

HAND AND WRIST PAIN CAN MAKE SIMPLE TASKS DIFFICULT

We use our hands constantly. From typing to lifting, small movements matter. However, pain or injury can quickly limit daily activities. Tasks like gripping, writing, or even opening a door may become frustrating.

 

Many hand and wrist conditions worsen over time. Repetitive motion, injuries, or underlying conditions often lead to ongoing discomfort. Without proper treatment, mobility and strength may continue to decline.

Embassy Surgery Center in Lancaster, CA, provides specialized hand, wrist, and upper extremity surgical procedures through a physician referral system. Our orthopedic specialists focus on restoring function and reducing discomfort using efficient outpatient procedures.

 

If your physician recommends hand or wrist surgery, contact our team to learn more about scheduling your procedure. Embassy Surgery Center is a referral-based surgery center, and patients cannot directly book procedures without a physician referral.

WHAT DO HAND, WRIST & UPPER EXTREMITY SPECIALISTS DO?

Hand and upper extremity specialists focus on treating bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and nerves affecting the hands and arms. These areas are complex and require specialized care.

 

Injuries and conditions affecting the hand and wrist may occur from:

 

• Sports injuries

• Work-related accidents

• Repetitive motion

• Degenerative conditions

• Sudden trauma

 

When symptoms persist, specialized surgical treatment may be recommended. Our team works closely with referring physicians to determine the best surgical approach for each patient.

CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME TREATMENT

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition affecting the wrist and hand. It occurs when pressure is placed on the median nerve.


Common symptoms include:


• Numbness in fingers

• Tingling sensations

• Weak grip strength

• Hand discomfort



When conservative treatments are not effective, surgical procedures may help relieve pressure on the nerve and restore function.

TRIGGER FINGER AND TENDON CONDITIONS

Trigger finger occurs when tendons in the hand become inflamed. This can cause fingers to lock or catch during movement.


Common symptoms include:


• Finger stiffness

• Clicking or locking

• Pain when bending fingers

• Reduced hand movement


Surgical treatment may help restore smooth finger movement and reduce discomfort.

FRACTURES AND TRAUMATIC INJURIES

Hand and wrist fractures often result from accidents or sports injuries. Trauma may also involve tendons, nerves, or blood vessels.


Common injuries treated include:


• Hand fractures

• Wrist fractures

• Dislocations

• Tendon injuries

• Nerve injuries



These procedures focus on restoring alignment, function, and mobility.

ARTHRITIS AND DEGENERATIVE CONDITIONS

Arthritis in the hand and wrist can cause pain and stiffness. Over time, joint damage may limit movement.


Common arthritis-related conditions include:


• Joint stiffness

• Reduced grip strength

• Chronic hand pain

• Limited mobility


Surgical procedures may help improve function and reduce discomfort.

ELBOW AND FOREARM CONDITIONS

Upper extremity specialists also treat elbow and forearm conditions. These injuries often result from repetitive motion or strain.


Common conditions include:


• Cubital tunnel syndrome

• Radial tunnel syndrome

• Tendon injuries

• Nerve compression



Treatment focuses on restoring movement and reducing pain.

REHABILITATION AND LONG-TERM CARE

Successful treatment often includes long-term planning. Our team works with referring physicians to support recovery and prevent recurring injuries.


Treatment planning may include:


• Post-procedure guidance

• Movement recommendations

• Injury prevention strategies

• Recovery coordination



This approach helps patients return to daily activities safely.
