Orthopaedic Specialty

Wrist

Specialty Summary

The wrist is a complex joint that plays a crucial role in daily activities, from typing on a keyboard to lifting objects. Dr Clifton treats a variety of wrist conditions, including fractures, arthritis, ligament injuries and tendinitis. Given the wrist's intricate structure, which includes bones, ligaments, tendons, and nerves, these conditions can significantly impact a person’s ability to perform routine tasks.  

Treatment approaches are tailored to each patient's condition and needs. Non-surgical options may include physical therapy, splinting, and medication to reduce inflammation and pain. For more severe cases, key hole or open surgery may be necessary to repair damaged structures and enhance wrist stability. By focusing on both preventive and restorative measures, Dr Clifton helps patients regain their strength and mobility, enabling them to return to their everyday activities with improved comfort and functionality.
