Hand surgery in Vienna at JUVENIS
Our hands are essential for almost all daily activities; they enable us to grasp, feel, write, work and interact with other people. Day in, day out, they perform top work and are exposed to a variety of stresses and potential injuries. Diseases or dysfunctions of the hand can therefore not only cause pain, but also significantly restrict quality of life - both at work and in everyday life.
Hand surgery is a highly specialized field that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, malformations and injuries of the hand, wrist and forearm.
Whether you suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome, are affected by tendonitis or are recovering from an injury, you will find specialized help at JUVENIS Hand Surgery. The aim is to take a holistic approach to your hand health and enable you to lead a pain-free, active life again.
Treatments & therapies
Carpal tunnel syndrome: constriction of the median nerve in the wrist, which leads to pain, numbness and weakness in the fingers. Treatment options range from conservative methods to surgical procedures.
Dupuytren's contracture: Benign connective tissue disease that leads to contractures of the hand and fingers. As the disease progresses, the affected fingers can be increasingly pulled into the palm of the hand, which significantly impairs hand function.
Snapping finger (trigger finger): Constriction of the tendon sheath that causes a painful "snapping" or "snapping" of the affected finger. Treatments range from anti-inflammatory injections to surgical solutions.
Wrist arthrosis: Degenerative joint disease that causes pain, swelling and restricted movement. Treatment options include conservative measures and surgical procedures such as joint replacement.
Removal of tumors on the hand: Benign (e.g. ganglions, lipomas) or, rarely, malignant tumors can occur on the hand, tendons, nerves or bones. They often cause a feeling of pressure, pain or restricted movement. In hand surgery, these tumors are precisely removed with the greatest possible protection of the surrounding structures. Microsurgical procedures are also used, particularly in the case of nerve tumors or vascular masses. A histological examination reliably rules out the possibility of malignancy.

Treatment procedure for hand surgery
The consultation
The first step is a detailed medical history interview. You will describe your symptoms, previous treatments and relevant previous illnesses. The extent to which your quality of life is impaired and your expectations of the therapy will be assessed. A detailed clinical functional examination of all structures will also be carried out.
Imaging procedures such as X-rays, ultrasound, MRI or CT are used to precisely clarify the symptoms. Functional tests are also carried out to assess mobility, sensitivity and strength in the affected hand.
An individually tailored treatment plan is drawn up based on the results of the examination. Depending on the findings, this may include conservative measures such as physiotherapy, splinting or injections - or, if necessary, surgery.
What needs to be considered beforehand?
Smoking must be stopped 2 weeks before the operation up to and including 2 weeks after the operation. Additional dietary supplements should be discontinued 2 weeks before the operation, as these often contain substances that stimulate blood circulation.
Any medication that alters blood clotting should only be discontinued after consulting a doctor.

How is the procedure performed?
Operations on the hand are usually minimally invasive and are performed on an outpatient or day-case basis. Most procedures can be performed under local anesthesia. For larger operations, we use the WALANT method or a plexus block. Nowadays, operations on the hand rarely have to be performed under general anesthesia.
Thanks to modern microsurgical techniques, the procedures are usually gentle and require only short recovery times. The exact procedure will be discussed transparently with you in advance.
After the operation
After the procedure, structured aftercare is essential for the success of the treatment. This includes
- Regular check-up appointments
- Wound management and pain therapy
- Physiotherapy / occupational therapy to restore mobility and strength
- Fitting of splints or orthoses if necessary
Video hand surgery
One patient was diagnosed with a benign tendon sheath tumor on his left index finger - and successfully removed by Dr. Dr. Bernhard Moser from JUVENIS in Vienna.
Particularly noteworthy is the hidden incision above the edge of the nail, which not only enabled precise tumor removal but also ensured an aesthetically pleasing result with minimally visible scars. Post-operative care included close wound monitoring and aftercare to optimally support healing.
In our video, we show the suture removal four weeks after the procedure as well as the comprehensive mobility and function check.
This showed that the procedure was a complete success. The mobility of the index finger is fully preserved and the patient can use his hand again without restriction

FAQs
Hand surgery involves the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases, injuries, and functional disorders of the hand, fingers, and wrist. The goal is to relieve pain and restore the mobility and function of the hand.
Typical indications include:
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Trigger finger
Dupuytren's contracture
Osteoarthritis of the wrists
Removal of tumors on the hand
The treatment is individually tailored to your complaints.
Surgery is recommended if:
conservative treatments do not provide sufficient improvement
severe pain persists
mobility is limited
nerves or tendons are affected
A thorough assessment is conducted before any decision is made.
After a thorough examination and diagnosis, the appropriate treatment plan is developed. Many procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. Depending on the procedure, surgery usually takes 20 to 60 minutes.
During the procedure, you will generally not feel any pain due to the anesthesia. After the surgery, you may experience some mild discomfort, which can be easily managed.
The recovery time depends on the procedure. In many cases, you will be back to normal within a few days to a few weeks. Targeted follow-up care or physical therapy can help speed up recovery.
Light activities are often possible after just a short time. However, for more strenuous activities or sports, you should allow yourself a period of rest tailored to your individual needs.
As with any surgical procedure, risks such as swelling, infection, scarring, or temporary limitations in movement may occur. These risks are minimized through careful technique and post-operative care.
Yes, but the incisions are made in such a way that the scars remain as small and inconspicuous as possible. Over time, they fade significantly.
The cost depends on the type of procedure and the individual findings.
You will receive the exact prices during a personal consultation, during which a customized treatment plan will be developed.
Depending on the diagnosis, health insurance may cover some or all of the costs, especially if the treatment is medically necessary.
At JUVENIS, you will be cared for by experienced specialists who specialize in precise and minimally invasive hand surgery. Using modern techniques and personalized care, we aim to restore hand function as quickly as possible.
