Specialized Surgeries & Advanced Procedures

Comprehensive surgical solutions with a personalized approach to restore function, reduce pain, and support recovery for hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder conditions.

Hand & Wrist Surgeries

Treatments for nerve compression, tendon disorders, and joint damage to restore strength, mobility, and function.

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, causing numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand. Carpal tunnel release surgery relieves pressure on the nerve by cutting the transverse carpal ligament. This procedure helps restore sensation and function while reducing pain and discomfort.

Trigger finger is a condition where a finger or thumb locks in a bent position due to inflammation around the tendon. Symptoms include stiffness, clicking, or pain when straightening the finger. Trigger finger release surgery involves a small incision to free the affected tendon, allowing smoother movement and reducing discomfort.

Tendon injuries in the fingers can result from cuts, ruptures, or overuse, leading to pain, stiffness, and difficulty bending or straightening the finger. Finger tendon repair surgery reconnects the damaged tendon, allowing it to heal properly. This procedure restores mobility and function, often followed by hand therapy for optimal recovery.

A wrist fracture occurs when one or more bones in the wrist break due to trauma, such as a fall or accident. Severe fractures may require surgery to realign and stabilize the bones using plates, screws, or pins. In these cases, the surgery allows the bones to heal in the proper position in order to restore motion and function in the wrist.

Arthritis in the hand and wrist causes joint pain, stiffness, and swelling, making daily activities difficult. When conservative treatments no longer provide relief, surgical options such as joint fusion or joint replacement may be recommended. Hand and wrist arthritis surgery aims to reduce pain while improving function.

Basilar thumb arthritis affects the joint at the base of the thumb, leading to pain, weakness, and difficulty gripping or pinching objects. Surgical options, such as joint reconstruction, help relieve pain and restore thumb function. This procedure is often recommended when non-surgical treatments, such as splinting or injections, are no longer effective.

Dupuytren’s disease is a condition where thickened tissue in the palm causes the fingers to curl inward, restricting hand function. Surgery is performed to remove or release the tight bands of tissue, allowing the fingers to straighten. This procedure improves hand mobility and function, making daily tasks easier and more comfortable.

Elbow Surgeries

Surgical solutions for nerve compression, tendon injuries, fractures, and joint degeneration to relieve pain and improve function.

Cubital tunnel syndrome occurs when the ulnar nerve is compressed at the elbow, leading to numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. Cubital tunnel release surgery relieves pressure on the nerve by creating more space or repositioning it. This procedure helps restore sensation, reduce discomfort, and prevent long-term nerve damage.

Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is caused by repetitive injury to the forearm tendons, leading to pain and along the outer elbow. When conservative treatments fail, surgery removes or repairs damaged tendon tissue. This procedure relieves pain and restores strength, allowing patients to return to normal activities without discomfort.

Learn more

Elbow arthritis or joint degeneration can cause persistent pain, swelling, and stiffness. Elbow joint replacement surgery involves replacing the damaged joint surfaces with artificial implants to restore function and reduce pain. This procedure is recommended for patients with severe arthritis or traumatic injuries that impair daily activities.

Learn more

A fractured elbow can result from trauma, such as falls or direct impact, causing pain, swelling, and instability. Severe fractures may require surgery to realign and stabilize the bones using plates, screws, or pins. Surgical repair ensures proper healing, restores mobility, and prevents long-term complications like arthritis.

Learn more

Elbow ligament injuries, often caused by sports, overuse, or trauma, can lead to instability and pain. Ligament repair surgery reattaches or reconstructs damaged ligaments, restoring joint stability and function. This procedure is also performed for athletes and individuals with repetitive stress injuries affecting elbow movement.

Learn more

A torn biceps tendon at the elbow can cause pain, weakness, and difficulty bending the arm. Surgical repair involves reattaching the tendon to the bone, restoring strength and function. This procedure is often recommended for individuals with significant tendon damage who need full arm mobility for work or sports.

Learn more

Elbow arthritis leads to joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, making daily tasks difficult. When non-surgical treatments are ineffective, procedures such as joint debridement or replacement can relieve pain and restore function. Surgical options are tailored to the severity of arthritis and the patient’s lifestyle needs.

Shoulder Surgeries

Procedures to address injuries, arthritis, and instability, restoring strength, flexibility, and function for daily activities and sports.

A rotator cuff tear can cause shoulder pain, weakness, and difficulty lifting or rotating the arm. Surgical repair involves reattaching the torn tendon to the bone, often using minimally invasive or arthroscopic techniques. This procedure restores shoulder stability and strength, reducing pain and improving range of motion for better function.

Learn more

Shoulder impingement occurs when the rotator cuff tendons become compressed, leading to pain and inflammation. Shoulder decompression surgery, also called subacromial decompression, removes excess bone or inflamed tissue to create more space for the tendons. This procedure helps relieve pain, improve mobility, and prevent further tendon damage.

Learn more

Severe arthritis or joint damage can make shoulder movement painful and difficult. Shoulder joint replacement surgery replaces damaged joint surfaces with artificial components to restore smooth movement and reduce pain. This procedure is recommended for patients with advanced arthritis or injuries that limit shoulder function.

Learn more

A fractured shoulder can result from trauma, such as falls or direct impact, causing pain, swelling, and instability. Severe fractures may require surgery to realign and stabilize the bones using plates and screws – while in other cases joint replacement may be the best option. Specialized treatment allows proper healing and restores function.

What Patients Are Saying

Hear from real patients about their experiences with Dr. Sollaccio’s expert care and personalized treatment.

I recently had a very serious incident that shattered my right arm, and wrist (and other issues) which desperately needed surgery. I was referred to Dr. Sollaccio who saw me the same day and performed the surgery the following day! He did an awesome job as indicated by the fact that I am typing this message easily and pain free. And great bedside manor, very patient, I never felt rushed. It also didn’t hurt that when other doctors and nurses asked who did my surgery and I told them, it was almost a unanimous response, ‘Ohhh you got lucky, he’s good!’ Highly recommended.

T.L.

Dr. Sollaccio is incredible. When I got to him my injury was two days old, infection was setting in and acute compartment syndrome. Dr. S took one look, scheduled surgery for the same night and by the time I woke up from surgery all of my excruciating pain was gone. His energy is calming and comforting, he is patient and takes the time to explain details and answer all questions. He’s such a caring Dr and truly wants the best for his patients. Thank you Dr. Sollaccio for everything you’ve done for me!

E.M.

Dr. Sollaccio was great, he made a point of explaining things in a way that I was sure to understand, he never seemed to be in a rush, I really appreciated the way that he took the time and made sure that he answered all of my questions and concerns. Great guy, I would definitely recommend him.

T.M.

Dr. Sollaccio has provided me with excellent care and follow-up from my surgery. By the way, you can barely see the sutures and it has only been 6 weeks post operation – it is as though a plastic surgeon did the surgery. Also, the surgery is very successful

G.B.

Thank you so much for the great job you did. It is amazing to be pain free, just like when I was young! You are very talented and professional. You made a 60 year old man feel strong again as if he’s 20 years old again. Your staff were amazing and kind. Thank you all.

J.C.
