The latest Treatments for all of your Upper Extremity ailments

The Orthopaedic & Spine Institute at Saint Agnes Hospital, a leader in minimally invasive procedures of the hand and upper extremities, has made treatment for problems like carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger fingers and other common problems easier than ever. Saint Agnes Hospital was the first to perform endoscopic carpal tunnel release in the entire Baltimore/Washington area in May 1992. Since then over five thousand people have experienced this seven minute nearly painless procedure that requires no sutures, no cast and quick return to all activities with dramatic relief of symptoms and an almost non-existent re-operation rate.
