Degenerative and chronic conditions: osteoarthritis, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger.
-
Congenital malformations: conditions present from birth, such as extra fingers or syndactyly.
-
Soft tissue injuries: tendinitis, ligament injuries, scars and burns.
-
Microsurgery: complex procedures to repair nerves, blood vessels and damaged tissues.
