Hand surgery at the highest level
Modern hand surgery uses precise, minimally invasive techniques to restore function, strength and quality of life as quickly as possible – tailored to each patient’s individual needs.
I offer modern surgical solutions for common hand conditions, with the aim of relieving pain quickly and restoring function in the long term:
- Osteoarthritis of the base of the thumb (thumb carpometacarpal joint), causing pain and reduced grip strength
- Karpaltunnelsyndrom mit Kribbeln, Taubheit und nächtlichen Beschwerden in der Hand
- Trigger finger, causing painful catching or locking of a finger
- Dupuytren’s contracture, leading to progressive bending of the fingers and difficulty straightening them
Your path to a pain-free life
As an experienced surgeon, my focus is on precise diagnosis and targeted treatment of conditions and injuries of the entire upper limb – from the elbow to the wrist and fingers.
Common conditions include:
- Tendon injuries and restricted movement
- Trigger finger and other tendon disorders
- Osteoarthritis of the finger joints and the base of the thumb
- Acute and chronic wrist problems
Based on an accurate diagnosis, treatment is individually tailored, with a particular focus on modern, minimally invasive surgical techniques to restore function and strength as quickly as possible. individuell abgestimmte Therapie, mit besonderem Fokus auf moderne, schonende Operationsverfahren zur raschen Wiederherstellung von Funktion und Belastbarkeit.
Modern surgery – tailored to you
Alongside selected conservative treatments, the focus is on highly precise surgical techniques that enable rapid rehabilitation and excellent functional outcomes. The aim is to relieve pain in a lasting way, improve mobility, and support a swift return to an active, pain-free daily life. hochpräzise operative Techniken zum Einsatz, die eine schnelle Rehabilitation und exzellente funktionelle Ergebnisse ermöglichen.
Ziel ist es, Schmerzen nachhaltig zu beseitigen, die Beweglichkeit zu optimieren und Ihnen eine rasche Rückkehr zu einem aktiven, beschwerdefreien Alltag zu ermöglichen.
Osteoarthritis of the finger joints – with a focus on the base of the thumb
Diagnosis
Wear and tear of the joint at the base of the thumb (thumb carpometacarpal osteoarthritis). Typical symptoms include pain when gripping, reduced strength, and difficulty with everyday tasks such as opening jars or turning a key.
Surgical treatment
In advanced osteoarthritis, the implantation of a modern thumb carpometacarpal joint prosthesis represents a high-quality, function-preserving treatment option. The diseased joint is replaced with an artificial joint, allowing for largely natural movement to be maintained.
Your benefit
- rapid and lasting pain relief
- preservation of near-natural movement
- significant improvement in grip strength
- rapid rehabilitation and short recovery time
- excellent functional outcomes
Many patients regain near-normal use of the hand within a short time and benefit from a significantly improved quality of life.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Diagnosis
A nerve at the wrist becomes compressed, leading to tingling, numbness or pain in the fingers, often worse at night or at rest.
Surgical treatment
Surgical release of the carpal ligament provides targeted and lasting decompression of the nerve. The procedure is performed precisely, with minimal tissue disruption, and usually under local anaesthesia. operative Spaltung des Karpalbandes führt zu einer gezielten und dauerhaften Entlastung des Nervs. Der Eingriff erfolgt präzise, gewebeschonend und meist in lokaler Betäubung.
Your benefit
- rapid relief of pressure on the nerve
- quick relief of symptoms
- short recovery time and early return to use
Many patients regain near-normal use of the hand within a short time and benefit from a significantly improved quality of life.
Trigger finger
Diagnosis
A finger can no longer move smoothly, but catches or locks at times. This is caused by a thickened tendon.
Surgical treatment
A small, targeted procedure releases the tight A1 pulley, allowing the tendon to glide freely again.
Your benefit
- minimally invasive procedure
- immediate improvement in movement
- quick return to normal daily activities
Dupuytren’s contracture
Diagnosis
Thickened tissue in the palm causes the fingers—most commonly the ring or little finger—to gradually lose the ability to fully straighten.
Surgical treatment
If hand function is impaired, surgery involves removing or releasing the affected cords of tissue using modern, individually tailored techniques. operative Entfernung oder Durchtrennung der veränderten Bindegewebsstränge mittels moderner, individuell abgestimmter Techniken.
Your benefit
- rapid and lasting pain relief
- preservation of near-natural movement
- significant improvement in grip strength
- rapid rehabilitation and short recovery time
- excellent functional outcomes

Your health is my top priority.
