Hand surgery in Vienna at JUVENIS
Our hands are essential for almost all daily activities; they allow us to grasp, feel, write, work and interact with others. Day after day they perform at peak capacity and are exposed to a variety of stresses and potential injuries. Diseases or functional disorders of the hand can therefore not only cause pain but also significantly reduce 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, have tenosynovitis or are recovering from an injury – in hand surgery at JUVENIS you will find specialized help. The aim is to consider your hand health holistically and to enable you to lead a pain-free, active life again.
Treatments & Therapies
Carpal tunnel syndrome: Einengung des Medianusnervs im Handgelenk, die zu Schmerzen, Taubheitsgefühlen und Schwäche in den Fingern führt. Behandlungsmöglichkeiten reichen von konservativen Methoden bis hin zu operativen Eingriffen.
Dupuytren's contracture: Gutartige Bindegewebserkrankung, die zu Kontrakturen der Hand und Finger führt. Mit fortschreitendem Verlauf können die betroffenen Finger zunehmend in die Handfläche gezogen werden, was die Handfunktion erheblich beeinträchtigt.
Trigger finger (stenosing tenosynovitis): Verengung der Sehnenscheide, die ein schmerzhaftes "Schnappen" oder "Einrasten" der betroffenen Finger verursacht. Behandlungen reichen von entzündungshemmenden Injektionen bis hin zu operativen Lösungen.
Wrist osteoarthritis: Degenerative Gelenkerkrankung, die Schmerzen, Schwellungen und Bewegungseinschränkungen verursacht. Therapieoptionen umfassen konservative Maßnahmen sowie operative Eingriffe wie den Gelenkersatz,
Removal of tumors of the hand: Gutartige (z. B. Ganglien, Lipome) oder selten auch bösartige Tumoren können an der Hand, den Sehnen, Nerven oder Knochen auftreten. Sie verursachen häufig Druckgefühl, Schmerzen oder Bewegungseinschränkungen. In der Handchirurgie erfolgt die präzise Entfernung dieser Tumoren mit größtmöglicher Schonung der umliegenden Strukturen. Auch mikrochirurgische Verfahren kommen dabei zum Einsatz, insbesondere bei Nerventumoren oder vaskulären Raumforderungen. Die feingewebliche Untersuchung (Histologie) schließt eine mögliche Bösartigkeit zuverlässig aus.

Hand surgery treatment procedure
The consultation
The first step is a detailed medical anamnesis. You describe your symptoms, previous treatments and relevant pre-existing conditions. It is recorded how much your quality of life is affected and what expectations you have for the therapy. In addition, a detailed clinical functional examination of all structures is performed.
Imaging methods such as X-ray, ultrasound, MRI or CT are used to precisely clarify the complaints. Functional tests are also performed to assess mobility, sensation and strength in the affected hand.
Based on the examination results, an individually tailored treatment plan is created. Depending on the findings, this may include conservative measures such as physiotherapy, splinting or injections – or, if necessary, a surgical procedure.
What should be considered beforehand?
Smoking must be stopped from 2 weeks before the procedure until and including 2 weeks after the operation. Any dietary supplements being taken should also be paused 2 weeks before the operation, as they often contain substances that promote blood circulation.
Any medications that alter blood clotting should only be paused after consultation with a physician.

How is the procedure performed?
Hand operations are generally minimally invasive and are carried out on an outpatient or day-clinic basis. Most procedures can be performed under local anesthesia. For larger procedures, we rely on the WALANT method or a plexus block. Only rarely do hand operations today still need 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 follow-up appointments
- Wound management and pain therapy
- Physiotherapy / occupational therapy to restore mobility and strength
- Adjustment of splints or orthoses if necessary
