Non-Surgical Treatments

Start With the Least-Invasive Options

Most patients improve without surgery. Our team takes a conservative-first approach with treatments designed to reduce pain, improve strength, and prevent future flare-ups.

Non-Surgical Hand & Wrist Treatments

  • Pre-Surgical Evaluation and Optimization Before amputation surgery, our team conducts thorough evaluations to determine the optimal level of amputation and prepare you for the procedure. This includes imaging studies, infection management, and psychological support.
    • Advanced imaging to determine surgical approach
    • Infection control and wound optimization
  • Occupational Therapy Our occupational therapists work with you both before and after surgery to maximize hand function and help you adapt to daily activities. Therapy begins early in the recovery process to promote optimal outcomes.
    • Hand function training and adaptation techniques
    • Activities of daily living modification
  • Pain Management Our pain management specialists provide comprehensive care for both acute post-surgical pain and phantom limb sensations. We use multimodal approaches to keep you comfortable during recovery.
    • Multimodal pain control protocols
    • Phantom limb pain management
  • Prosthetic and Adaptive Device Consultation We work with certified prosthetists to evaluate your needs for functional prostheses or adaptive devices. Our team helps you explore options that can restore grip strength and dexterity for daily tasks.
    • Functional prosthetic evaluation
    • Adaptive tool and device training

Finger Amputation

Watch how our fellowship-trained hand surgeons perform precise amputation procedures to optimize healing and preserve maximum hand function.

Surgical Hand & Wrist Procedures

  • Partial Finger Amputation When only a portion of the finger is affected, partial amputation preserves as much functional length as possible while removing damaged tissue. This procedure aims to maintain grip strength and pinch function while ensuring complete healing.
  • Complete Finger Amputation In cases of severe trauma or infection, complete finger removal may be necessary. Our surgeons use advanced techniques to create optimal wound closure and prepare the site for potential prosthetic fitting or functional adaptation.
  • Ray Amputation When the entire finger and associated metacarpal bone must be removed, ray amputation provides the most comprehensive treatment. This procedure can improve overall hand cosmetics and function by eliminating gaps between remaining fingers.
  • Revision Amputation Sometimes a previous amputation site requires revision to improve healing, reduce pain, or better accommodate prosthetic devices. Our experienced surgeons can reshape and optimize amputation sites for improved function and comfort.
Star
Over 92% of our finger amputation patients achieve complete wound healing within 6-8 weeks, with most returning to work and daily activities by 10-12 weeks post-surgery.

What Patients Say

RW
Excellent care and concern from the time I was called into the room. He thoroughly explained my injury and what my options were. My best option was surgery which he performed 5 days later. He greeted me at the surgery center and explained the procedure that was going to take place. Surgery went well. Im on my way to a full recovery and very thankful to have crossed paths with Dr. Bohm and to have him for my care during this time. Also, the entire staff from my initial checkin to scheduling to follow-up care were all courteous, professional, and on point. Such a well organized team.

I was treated for my broken wrist in a very timely manner. I was able to see Dr. Bohm the same day I injured it. I was able to have surgery within three days of seeing Dr. Bohm. The front desk, staff, nurses treated me very well. I am on my way to almost full use of my arm. I am having physical therapy here too, which is really helping me regain strength in my arm.
