Bones allow significantly fewer X-rays to pass through than does muscle tissue. The conventional X-ray image represents the 3-D object (e.\u00a0g. of a hand) through a 2-D image. That is why two X-ray images of the same region are often taken from two directions. X-ray diagnostics is a good way to visualise bone fractures and degenerative joint disease. Depending on the tentative diagnosis, the X-ray examination is supplemented by further imaging (CT or MRI).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sonography<\/strong><br \/>\nUltrasound penetrates body tissue. An image of the internal tissue structures is generated based on reflection patterns of the ultrasound on the tissue surfaces inside the body. This examination is particularly suitable for assessing soft tissue (tendons, nerves, ganglia, soft tissue tumours).<\/li>\n<li><strong>CT<\/strong><br \/>\nIn computed tomography (CT), X-rays are sent into the body from various directions. As with radiography, the rays penetrate the body to varying degrees depending on the type of tissue. A computer can process this information into cross-sectional images on different planes.<br \/>\nComputed tomography generates much more detailed images of a body than X-rays, since each cross-sectional plane is viewed individually and the overlapping of different structures is practically eliminated. Computed tomography is very well suited for assessing complex fractures, for planning therapy, and for evaluating the success of conservative or surgical therapy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>MRI<\/strong><br \/>\nMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) generates a very strong magnetic field that excites the atoms in the human body. The time it takes atoms to return to their normal state after this excitation varies according to tissue type and can be measured. The spatial points determined in this way are smaller than 1 mm and can be converted into three-dimensional cross-sectional images by computer. This examination thus requires no X-rays at all and is particularly suitable for assessing soft tissue (ligament lesions, cartilage wear, ganglion, soft tissue tumours).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Specialist examination<\/strong><br \/>\nFurther specialist examinations can contribute to a more precise diagnosis in case of specific symptoms. The neurology specialist, for example, assesses the clinical suspicion of a nerve compression syndrome, while the rheumatology colleagues are consulted if there is a well-founded suspicion of a rheumatological disorder that can, for example, cause joint complaints.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;

No therapy may be required, depending on the specific disorder (e.g. in case of a symptom-free ganglion). Conservative therapy options are often considered at the start of therapy. Depending on your symptoms, pain or inflammation management medication, special splints, ergotherapy or physiotherapy can be used.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the diagnosis, there are minimally invasive options such as puncture or cortisone infiltration as well as invasive surgical options such as endoscopic or open surgical procedures. The treatment consultation will give you insight into the advantages and disadvantages of the respective therapy option.<\/p>\n<p>Before each therapeutic intervention, your physician will make sure that you have understood the explanation and that all your questions have been clarified. Once you have given your consent you will receive the appropriate therapy.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;

Therapeutic progress or success is monitored either in a standardised way \u2013 such as X-ray check-up of an immobilised fracture \u2013 or an optional way (e.g. after puncture of a ganglion). The aim of the check-ups is to reaffirm the healing process or improvement of symptoms, or otherwise to be able to assess or plan a change in therapy.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=&#8221;custom&#8221; style=&#8221;dotted&#8221; accent_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Surgery<\/h3>\n<p>Surgery is only considered useful if it is very likely to lead to a better functional result than conservative therapy. Surgery is a good option if its probable benefit greatly outweighs the risk involved (e.g. in the case of a severely displaced or open fracture or the severing of a nerve in a healthy patient).<\/p>\n<p>The necessity of the surgical procedure is only relative if a less invasive measure is likely to lead to an equivalent therapy result or the surgical risk is high. You thus have the right to be properly informed before each surgical procedure: Before the operation your doctor will discuss with you in detail the type of procedure, its possible benefits and risks, the expected course of treatment, and possible alternative treatments. Your personal involvement is very important in ensuring that the healing proceeds as desired. As early as the planning stage, you will receive all important instructions, a list of foods rich in Vitamin C (PDF Vitamin C), the prescription of the medications recommended after the operation, and the planned check-up appointments.<\/p>\n<p>You will also be given the ergotherapy prescription, if this is considered useful in your case. This gives you time to think everything over in peace before proceeding with surgery and prepare yourself in a relaxed manner. It is important that you accept the surgical procedure as a good solution to your problem and have no unaddressed doubts or questions. The surgical procedure itself is performed on an outpatient basis at Clinique Moncor or on an in-patient basis at the Daler Hospital or Clinique G\u00e9n\u00e9rale.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=&#8221;custom&#8221; style=&#8221;dotted&#8221; accent_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Check-up appointments \/ termination<\/h3>\n<p>Your physician will evaluate the healing process or the success of treatment or rehabilitation during the check-up appointments following conservative or surgical therapy. This is where the above-mentioned diagnostic options come in:the detailed\u00a0discussion about the course of therapy with your physician, the clinical examination and, if necessary, further examinations.<\/p>\n<p>Your physician will inform you of his assessment as well as discussing the options for continuing therapy, a change of strategy or termination of therapy.<\/p>\n<p>Therapeutic surgical post-operative care following a complication-free standard procedure, such as splitting the roof of the carpal tunnel (carpal tunnel syndrome), often ends with the removal of the sutures two weeks after surgery.<\/p>\n<p>If you develop severe or painful scarring, please do not hesitate to contact us again in order to benefit from the therapeutic options for scar reduction.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1588844251790{padding-right: 50px !important;padding-left: 50px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tabs]<div class=\"ult-animation  ult-animate-viewport  ult-no-mobile \" data-animate=\"pulse\" data-animation-delay=\"0\" data-animation-duration=\"3\" data-animation-iteration=\"2\" style=\"opacity:0;\" data-opacity_start_effect=\"\"><div class=\" vc_custom_1604491198443 ubtn-ctn-right \"><a class=\"ubtn-link ult-adjust-bottom-margin ubtn-right ubtn-custom \" href=\"https:\/\/www.manus-fribourg.ch\/en\/surgery-info\/\" title=\"surgery info\" ><button type=\"button\" id=\"ubtn-7342\"  class=\"ubtn ult-adjust-bottom-margin ult-responsive ubtn-custom ubtn-no-hover-bg  none  ubtn-sep-icon ubtn-sep-icon-bottom-push  ubtn-right   tooltip-6a1e23934e614\"  data-hover=\"#ffffff\" data-border-color=\"\" data-bg=\"#25a9fe\" data-hover-bg=\"#238fed\" data-border-hover=\"\" data-shadow-hover=\"\" data-shadow-click=\"none\" data-shadow=\"\" data-shd-shadow=\"\"  data-ultimate-target='#ubtn-7342'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"desktop:24px;\",\"line-height\":\"desktop:28px;\"}'  style=\"font-family:&#039;Alegreya Sans&#039;;font-weight:normal;width:1250px;min-height:90px;padding:px px;border:none;background: #25a9fe;color: #ffffff;\"><span class=\"ubtn-data ubtn-icon\"><i class=\"icomoon-the7-font-the7-arrow-29\" style=\"font-size:32px;color:#ffffff;\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"ubtn-hover\" style=\"background-color:#238fed\"><\/span><span class=\"ubtn-data ubtn-text \" >Information about the surgery<\/span><\/button><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-6a1e23934e64d\" data-id=\"6a1e23934e64d\" data-height=\"50\" data-height-mobile=\"20\" data-height-tab=\"35\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"35\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"20\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=&#8221;35&#8243; content_placement=&#8221;top&#8221; bg_type=&#8221;u_iframe&#8221; video_poster=&#8221;id^45|url^https:\/\/www.manus-fribourg.ch\/wp-content-329291\/uploads\/2019\/08\/manus-handvideo-still-e1565030752259.jpg|caption^null|alt^null|title^MANUS-Handvideo-still|description^null&#8221; enable_overlay=&#8221;enable_overlay_value&#8221; overlay_color=&#8221;rgba(242,250,255,0.86)&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-6a1e23934e65f\" data-id=\"6a1e23934e65f\" data-height=\"50\" data-height-mobile=\"20\" data-height-tab=\"35\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"35\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"20\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Our hands<\/h2>\n<p>Alongside the brain and its ability to think logically, our hands have contributed the most to human evolution and development.

The aim<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>is to reduce the complexity of the problems and break them down into treatable sub-components. This approach is followed by a well conceived and patient-oriented treatment. Optimal treatments are tailored to the individual patient rather than a stereotyped \u2018cookbook learning of procedures\u2019 (Robert W. Beasley). The guiding philosophy of William J. Mayo should not be forgotten either: \u201cThe interests of the patient are the only interests worthy of consideration.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;History &amp; language&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1588944467471-dc5543d9-bbd9&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1601912670742{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>History of hand surgery<\/h3>\n<p>Historically, the numerous different and dramatic injuries in the Second World War led to the development of regional surgical specialties, especially hand surgery.<\/p>\n<p>US General Norman T. Kirk founded surgical hand centres and prioritised the soft tissue treatment of injuries. Major J. William Littler headed the first specialised hand centre near Boston, and Sterling Bunnell, as a civilian doctor, tirelessly promoted the exchange of ideas among the various hand centres. Bunnell, whose groundbreaking work \u201cSurgery of the Hand\u201d was first published in 1944, is regarded as the founder of hand surgery in America. The \u201cfather\u201d of Swiss hand surgery is Claude Verdan, who founded the Longeraie Clinic in Lausanne in 1946 and headed the surgical polyclinic at the University of Lausanne from 1961 to 1980.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=&#8221;custom&#8221; style=&#8221;dotted&#8221; accent_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1601550054189{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>The hand in our language<\/h3>\n<p>The hand\u2019s uniqueness is also expressed in language: When we have something under control, we say: <i>\u201cWe have it firmly in hand\u201d<\/i>. <i>\u201cWringing our hands\u201d<\/i>, we look for a solution.
