Function evaluated before making recommendations.

The Process

Planned. Performed. Perfected.

  • 01

    Consultation & Hand Examination

    Dr. Howland examines your hand, tests sensation and strength, and identifies the affected structure.

  • 02

    Nonsurgical Options

    Where appropriate, our surgeons try conservative treatment first to see whether symptoms resolve without surgery.

  • 03

    Pre-Surgical Preparation

    Complete required testing and follow written guidelines for medication, food, and exercise.

  • 04

    The Procedure

    Your surgeon releases, removes, or repairs the structure responsible for your symptoms.

  • 05

    Early Recovery

    Bandages stay in place until your first follow-up, and sutures typically come out around 2 weeks.

  • 06

    Return of Function

    Motion and strength improve progressively, with nerve symptoms resolving on their own timeline.
