Care Details

At Potter Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, we offer surgical treatment for De Quervain's Tenosynovitis, a condition that causes pain and restricted movement in the wrist and thumb. This procedure is designed to relieve pressure on the affected tendons, restoring comfort and functionality to the hand. Our skilled team takes a patient-focused approach, ensuring precision and care to help you regain mobility and improve your quality of life. De Quervain's Tenosynovitis Release is ideal for individuals experiencing persistent pain or swelling at the base of the thumb, difficulty gripping objects, or discomfort during wrist movement. This procedure targets the sheath around the tendons, which can become inflamed and restrict motion. By releasing the sheath, the surgery alleviates pressure, reduces pain, and restores the tendons’ ability to glide freely. Many patients experience significant relief, improved hand strength, and enhanced functionality after the procedure. The surgery is typically performed under local or regional anesthesia and generally lasts 30 to 45 minutes. During the procedure, the surgeon carefully opens the constricted tendon sheath, relieving pressure and ensuring smooth tendon movement. Recovery involves some soreness and swelling in the first few weeks, with most patients resuming light activities within two to three weeks. Full recovery, including restored strength and flexibility, may take one to three months depending on the severity of the condition. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up care to support your healing and maximize results. Surgical treatment for De Quervain's Tenosynovitis at Potter Plastic Surgery & Med Spa offers an effective and lasting solution to relieve pain and restore hand and wrist functionality.
