Fractures
Trauma and fractures of the upper limb- including broken bones, dislocations, and tendon or nerve injuries—are among the most common hand, wrist, and elbow injuries, caused by accidents, trauma, or everyday activities. Dr. Matan provides expert, personalized treatment, including precise surgical reconstruction and guidance for optimal rehabilitation.
Pain and Numbness
Nerve compression syndromes, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or cubital tunnel syndrome, can cause pain, numbness, or weakness in the fingers and hand. Dr. Matan performs thorough evaluations and offers both conservative and surgical treatments to relieve pressure and restore function.
Sports Injuries and Degenerative Conditions
Repetitive strain, sports activity, or degenerative processes can lead to wear, pain, and restricted motion in the hand and elbow joints. Dr. Matan treats these conditions with a comprehensive approach: accurate diagnosis, targeted treatment, and a rehabilitation plan tailored to each patient’s needs.
