Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Median nerve compression at the wrist

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. Symptoms may include numbness, tingling, hand weakness, or difficulty with fine motor tasks. When conservative treatments are no longer effective, surgical decompression may be recommended to relieve pressure on the nerve and reduce ongoing symptoms.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

Ulnar nerve compression at the elbow

Cubital tunnel syndrome affects the ulnar nerve as it travels along the inner aspect of the elbow. Patients may experience numbness or tingling in the ring and small fingers, hand weakness, or difficulty with grip strength. Surgical treatment focuses on relieving pressure on the nerve and improving nerve function when symptoms persist or progress.

Brachial Plexus & Complex Neurologic Trauma

Severe nerve injuries involving the shoulder, arm, or hand

The brachial plexus is a complex network of nerves that controls movement and sensation in the shoulder, arm, and hand. Traumatic injuries to this region—such as those caused by accidents or high-impact trauma—can lead to significant functional impairment. Surgical options may include nerve repair, nerve grafting, nerve transfers, or staged reconstruction depending on the severity and timing of the injury.

Secondary Nerve Injury & Reconstruction

Persistent or delayed nerve dysfunction after trauma or surgery

Secondary nerve injuries may develop following trauma, fractures, prior surgeries, or scar formation. These injuries can result in ongoing pain, weakness, or sensory changes even after the initial injury has healed. Surgical reconstruction may involve releasing scar tissue, repairing damaged nerves, or reconstructing nerve pathways to help restore function.

Facial Paralysis

Facial nerve injuries can lead to weakness or paralysis of the muscles responsible for facial expression. Surgical treatment may involve nerve repair, nerve grafting, or reconstructive techniques aimed at restoring balance, movement, and facial symmetry when appropriate.

Meralgia Paresthetica

This condition occurs when the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve is compressed, often causing burning pain, numbness, or tingling along the outer thigh. In select cases, surgical nerve decompression may be considered to address persistent symptoms.

Migraines Related to Nerve Compression

In certain patients, chronic migraines may be associated with compression or irritation of specific peripheral nerves. Surgical treatment focuses on relieving pressure on these nerves in carefully selected candidates when other treatments have not provided adequate relief.

Pronator Syndrome

Pronator syndrome involves compression of the median nerve in the forearm, leading to forearm pain, weakness, or sensory changes. Surgical decompression may be recommended when symptoms persist despite non-surgical management.

Peroneal Nerve Entrapment & Foot Drop

Compression or injury of the peroneal nerve near the knee can result in foot drop, weakness, or altered sensation in the lower leg and foot. Surgical intervention may be used to relieve nerve compression and support functional recovery.

Radial Tunnel Syndrome

Radial tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the radial nerve in the forearm and may present as deep, aching pain without significant numbness. Surgical decompression may be considered when conservative treatments fail to provide relief.

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

Tarsal tunnel syndrome occurs when the tibial nerve is compressed near the ankle, leading to pain, tingling, or numbness in the foot. Surgical decompression may be an option for patients with persistent symptoms.

Ulnar Tunnel Syndrome

Ulnar tunnel syndrome involves compression of the ulnar nerve at the wrist and can cause numbness or weakness in the hand and fingers. Treatment may include surgical release to alleviate pressure on the nerve.
