Specialties and Treatment Approach
Hand and upper-extremity problems may arise from injury, repetitive movement, arthritis, nerve compression, or an earlier condition that did not heal correctly. Evaluation can include a physical examination, movement and strength testing, X-rays, MRI, or nerve studies.
Treatment does not always require surgery. Depending on the diagnosis, Dr. Masson may recommend activity changes, splinting, medication, injections, hand therapy, or supervised rehabilitation. Surgery may be considered when symptoms remain severe, function is limited, or a fracture, tendon injury, nerve problem, or joint disorder requires repair. Postoperative therapy can help restore movement, strength, and practical hand function.
