Why Choose Us for Hand and Wrist Surgery?
Collabrative care:
Our orthopaedic, plastic and reconstructive surgeons work closely with other experts from rheumatology, physiotherapy and other specialities. This high-level collaboration and expertise allow us to treat even the most complex and severe conditions — including ones that do not respond to standard therapies. Meet our team.
Convenient care:
We ensure you move through your evaluation, testing and treatment as quickly as possible. We offer initial evaluations over the phone, through a virtual visit or in person — in as little as one business day. If you need imaging studies, you can do those on the same day as your evaluation or at your earliest convenience.
Comprehensive care:
At Cleveland Clinic London, we offer prompt specialised treatment for even the most urgent, traumatic hand and wrist injuries. This dedicated care continues once your treatment plan ends. If you need physiotherapy, we work with trusted occupational therapists in locations throughout London, so you receive care close to home.

Once you have your evaluation and any recommended testing, our team will build a customised surgery plan based on your needs and specific diagnosis. We offer (and excel in) the latest procedures for hand and wrist conditions. We perform many of these surgeries as day cases, meaning you go home within a few hours of surgery.
Common hand and wrist treatments
Our team treats common hand and wrist conditions, including:
- Dupuytren contracture surgery. This procedure divides the tight bands of tissue under the skin of your palm to help your finger move more easily.
- Carpal tunnel surgery. We use minimally invasive (endoscopic) techniques to cut the ligament over the carpal tunnel and relieve pressure on the median nerve.
- Hand tendon surgery. Our surgeons specialise in trigger finger release surgery (tenolysis), tendon transfers and other hand tendon repairs.
- Wrist and thumb joint replacement. We replace damaged or worn-out wrist and thumb bones with metal and plastic parts that move and work like a natural joint.
Advanced procedures we offer
Choosing to undergo hand and wrist surgery at Cleveland Clinic London means you’ll also have access to special techniques available only in top hospitals such as ours, including:
- Ligament reconstruction: Repairs tears from sports injuries and trauma
- Thumb joint replacement: Replaces worn or damaged thumb joints with synthetic (human-made) replacements, often with a pain-blocking local anaesthesia for swifter recovery
- Wide-awake wrist arthroscopy: Uses local anaesthesia, small incisions and a special camera to explore joint and tissue damage
- Wide-awake local anaesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) hand surgery: Uses local anaesthetic and medications to minimise bleeding during carpal tunnel release, fracture fixation and tendon repair and allows your surgeons to see how your hand looks, works and moves
