"This is my second time for carpal tunnel surgery, and Dr. Knox did a great job. He asked me all the questions I expected and helped me remember why I had the type of surgery I had the first time, even though I had it done at a different clinic! Did a good job in spite of being so busy!"

"I would highly recommend Dr. Knox to any family or friends. I found him, in my particular case, to be both knowledgeable and able to address any of my questions or concerns regarding my treatment.

Hand and Wrist Deformities

Hand and Wrist Deformities

Deformities can occur for a number of reasons, including rheumatoid arthritis, congenital birth defects, and more. We use advanced surgical techniques to address a number of hand and wrist deformities to restore functionality and improve range of motion. 

Nerve Compression Syndromes

Nerve Compression Syndromes

When nerves are compressed or pinched by surrounding tissues or structures, it can cause tingling, numbness, weakness, and pain, making daily activities difficult. Our treatments provide lasting relief for many conditions caused by pressure on the nerves in the hand, wrist, and arm.

Carpal Tunnel & Related Syndromes

Carpal Tunnel & Related Syndromes

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a type of nerve compression that affects the median nerve as it passes through a narrow passageway in the wrist. Our surgical and non-surgical treatments alleviate symptoms of carpal tunnel and related syndromes, including cubital and radial tunnel syndromes, peripheral neuropathy, and tenosynovitis (trigger finger). 

Arthritis

Arthritis

Arthritis can cause significant pain, making movement difficult and uncomfortable. We specialize in treating inflammation and pain associated with arthritis of the hand and wrist, including basal joint arthritis, a form of osteoarthritis that causes dull, aching pain at the base of the thumb.

Orthopedic Device or Graft Complication

Orthopedic Device or Graft Complication

Sometimes, patients may experience complications related to the implantation of an orthopedic device or skin graft treatment. Dr. Knox and his team are here to support patients who come to us for restoration or repair so they can regain function and feel comfortable in their skin.

Crushing Injuries

Crushing Injuries

Crush injuries result from force or pressure placed on your body by a heavy object. A crush injury involving your hand, wrist, or arm can cause severe damage to tissue and bones. Our team uses advanced reconstructive techniques and integrated occupational therapy to help you regain maximum functionality.

Fractures and Dislocation

Fractures and Dislocation

A fracture in the hand or wrist can involve a complete break of the bone or several broken bones. Dislocations are when a bone moves out of place, often resulting from sudden trauma such as a fall. In either case, seeing a hand and wrist surgeon is vital to ensure that broken or dislocated bones align properly for optimal healing and recovery. 

Joint Ganglion or Cyst

Joint Ganglion or Cyst

Lumps that appear along the tendons of the wrists and hands are known as ganglion cysts. These round or oval growths filled with fluid can cause pain or even affect joint movement when enlarged. We offer various treatment methods to shrink your cyst, relieve pain, and improve joint mobility.

Arthroscopic Surgery

Arthroscopic Surgery

Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that allows surgeons to see the inside of joints. The procedure utilizes a fiber-optic camera and tiny surgical instruments to repair various types of joint and nerve damage quickly and easily with minimal scarring and downtime.

Finger Replacement Arthroplasty

Finger Replacement Arthroplasty

Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure where a damaged joint is replaced with an artificial joint. Finger joint replacements are utilized for patients experiencing severe arthritis or injury. Basal joint arthroplasty specifically addresses pain and dysfunction in the joint at the base of the thumb, offering relief for patients.

Digital Replantation

Digital Replantation

The loss of a finger can be devastating for patients, affecting them physically and emotionally. Dr. Knox specializes in digital replantation, a complex microsurgical procedure used to reattach a severed or traumatically amputated finger or thumb to restore function and appearance.

Heterodigital Flap Surgery

Heterodigital Flap Surgery

Our team also specializes in heterodigital flap surgery. This technique involves transferring a flap of skin and underlying tissue from one finger to cover a defect or injury on an adjacent finger to restore blood supply, function, sensation, and aesthetic appearance. 

Homodigital Island Flap Reconstruction

Homodigital Island Flap Reconstruction

To restore form and function to injured fingers and provide a tailored solution to address soft tissue defects and amputations, we offer an advanced surgical technique that involves transferring skin and soft tissue from the same finger to repair a soft tissue defect or replace a fingertip.

Carpal Tunnel Decompression

Carpal Tunnel Decompression

When carpal tunnel symptoms do not respond to non-surgical treatments, surgical intervention can help. Dr. Knox and the Cimisurgical team specialize in carpal tunnel decompression, a highly effective technique that releases pressure from the median nerve by cutting the transverse carpal ligament.
