Hand - Wrist Disorders

Hallux Rigidus is a degenerative joint disease that causes limitation of movement in the big toe and stiffness of the joint over time. This condition develops as a result of cartilage wear in the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe and is usually caused by osteoarthritis. It can cause pain when walking, difficulty wearing shoes and restriction of movement in daily activities. Treatment options vary depending on the stage of the disease; shoe modifications, orthopedic supports and physical therapy are recommended in the early stages, while surgical intervention may be required in advanced cases. Surgeries usually focus on relieving movement in the joint or reducing pain by eliminating the movement of the big toe completely.

Nerve compression is a condition in which nerves are pressed by the surrounding tissues. This pressure can often be caused by swelling, inflammation, injury or repetitive motion and affects the normal function of the nerve, causing symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling or weakness. The most common types of nerve compression include carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome. Treatment options may include rest, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications and surgical intervention when necessary. Op. Dr. Özgür Oktay Nar aims to help his patients lead a healthy life by creating effective and personalized treatment plans for their pinched nerve problems.

A wrist fracture is a common injury, especially as a result of traumatic events such as a fall, and is often referred to as a fracture of the lower end of the radius. This type of fracture usually occurs when the wrist is twisted violently or when the hand hits the ground during a fall. Symptoms include severe pain, swelling, bruising and limitation of movement. The diagnosis is made by physical examination and usually X-ray imaging. Treatment may require immobilization with a cast or surgical intervention, depending on the severity of the fracture. Op. Dr. Özgür Oktay Nar aims to ensure that his patients recover in the fastest and healthiest way by using the most up-to-date methods in the treatment of wrist fracture.

 

Wrist ganglion cysts are fluid-filled cysts that form around a joint or tendon and are usually found in the wrist or palm of the hand. These cysts are usually soft, swollen and may not cause pain, but in some cases may cause discomfort or restricted movement. The exact cause of ganglion cysts is not yet known, but it is thought to be related to overuse of tendons or joint trauma. Diagnosis is usually made by physical examination and ultrasound. Treatment options include observation, needle drainage and surgical intervention when necessary. Op. Dr. Özgür Oktay Nar is an orthopedist specializing in the effective evaluation and treatment of ganglion cysts.

A heel spur is a bony protrusion caused by calcium build-up in the connective tissue under the heel bone and is usually associated with an inflammatory process called plantar fasciitis. This condition causes severe pain in the heel, especially in the morning or when standing up after a long period of inactivity. Heel spurs are often caused by being overweight, standing for long periods of time, walking on hard surfaces or using inappropriate footwear. Treatment options include rest, painkillers, stretching exercises, use of insoles and, in more advanced cases, surgical intervention.
