Procedures
Triceps Tendon Repair
Treatment options may include cold compresses, anti-inflammatory medications, rest, or use of a brace to support the elbow. Physical therapy is often recommended. Severe cases may require surgery.
Trigger Finger Surgery
During this minimally-invasive procedure, the surgeon opens a narrowed tendon pulley at the base of a finger or thumb affected by trigger digit. Opening the pulley prevents the nodule from catching, allowing the the affected digit to flex and extend normally with no triggering or pain.
Triple Arthrodesis
This surgical procedure relieves pain in the ankle joint and corrects deformities in the hindfoot caused by injury, arthritis, or genetic defect. The procedure fuses the three main joints in the hindfoot that allow side-to-side movement – the talonavicular, calcaneo-cuboid and subtalar joints.
Trochleoplasty
When a patient continues to dislocate their kneecap, or patella, it is often because the anatomy of their knee has a subtle, or not so subtle, alteration that allows the patella to dislocate more easily than normal. One of these anatomical differences can involve the groove (trochlea) on the front...

This minimally-invasive procedure is an injection of bone cement into a vertebra. It stabilizes a compression fracture of the spine. One or more vertebrae may need to be treated.
Wrist Arthroscopy
This minimally invasive outpatient procedure allows the surgeon to evaluate and treat injuries and disorders of the ligaments, cartilage, and bones of the wrist. The surgeon uses a small camera, called an arthroscope, and tiny instruments, which are inserted through small incisions in the wrist.
Wrist Fracture Treatment

Treatment options, which vary depending on the type of injury, are designed to hold the broken radius in its correct position while it heals. If the fracture ends are out of alignment, the physician...

Depending upon the severity of the tendon injury, surgery may be...
