Common Conditions Treated In Wrotham
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: When the median nerve is compressed in a tight tunnel it can cause a tingling or numbing sensation, as well as some pain in the hand or wrists.
- Trigger Finger/Trigger Thumb: This condition occurs when the tendon that bends the affected finger or thumb catches at the entrance to the tunnel that runs through it, stopping it from moving the thumb properly.
- Wrist Arthritis/Base of Thumb Arthritis: Osteoarthritis in the base of the thumb is very common in women aged over 50 and can cause stiffness and grinding. Arthritis is also common in the wrist.
- Dupuytren’s Contracture: This is a disease where scar-like tissue forms just beneath the skin of the fingers and the palm of the hands. Over time, this can cause the fingers to curl in towards the palm.
- Tendonitis: The tendons are rope or cord-like bands of tissue that can become irritated, inflamed, or swollen, making it hard to move the tendons properly.
- RSI: RSI has similar symptoms to tendonitis and can occur in the fingers or wrist, with pain when moving, swelling, and difficulty gripping.

Trapeziometacarpal arthritis is a relatively common condition. It gives pain on key pinch and pin pinch. Patients lose the first web space span (i.e cannot pull a large book from a shelf). Early treatment consists of anti-inflammatories, injection and splintage. The results of surgery are extremely good.

Private elbow treatment by orthopaedic consultant near Wrotham
We can all suffer from elbow pain at some point in our lives. If you are based in Wrotham and need to manage an elbow condition, Mr Yanni can provide access to a full treatment pathway.
- Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: This is a relatively common condition, with women two to three times more likely to suffer from it than men. It leads to a tingling on numbness sensation in the hands and wrist.
- Tennis Elbow: This is a condition that typically causes pain on the outside of the elbow and often occurs due to overuse of the muscles or tendons of the forearm.
- Golfer’s Elbow: This condition causes pain and inflammation where the tendons are attached to the upper arm, so the pain is felt on the inside of the elbow. Pain can radiate down towards the wrist.
- Elbow Arthritis: Arthritis in the elbow can eventually wear away the smooth cartilage covering the surface of the joint and the bone underneath will become damaged. This causes pain, tenderness, and a locking sensation.
