This patient visited us from Guayaquil, Ecuador.
He first came for his wrist in 2019 and returned in 2021 after experiencing significant pain when bending his thumb.
We attempted conservative treatments, but after 6 months the patient began to lose motion in his thumb.
The indicated procedure for this patient was a capsulectomy.
This refers to making an incision in the capsule that surrounds a joint.
This procedure helps the patient achieve improved range of motion in selected cases of stiffness.
