Hand or wrist pain: deciding correctly from the start can change the entire recovery.

When a hand or wrist hurts, naming an injury is not enough: you need to understand what truly limits the patient's life. A precise diagnosis, a well-made decision, and personalized treatment can reduce uncertainty and make recovery clearer, safer, and more adapted.

Quan la mà fa mal: artrosi del polze, fractures i lesions de canell explicades per qui les opera.

I am a hand surgeon and wrist arthroscopist, specializing for over 30 years in thumb arthritis, fractures, and ligament injuries. I listen to what truly limits the patient, seek the origin of the problem, and explain the options clearly, without rush or unnecessary surgeries. A specialized evaluation helps to decide correctly from the start and avoid months of uncertainty.

When a hand or wrist hurts, it's not just a joint that's bothering you: it can change the way you work, dress, drive, play sports, care for others, or simply live peacefully.
My goal is for the patient to understand what's happening, what to expect, and which path makes the most sense to regain function, security, and autonomy with the least possible suffering.
Therefore, before proposing any treatment, I thoroughly investigate each case. I listen to what truly limits the patient's life, examine the hand and wrist with precision, review the tests, and explain the diagnosis clearly. I don't just treat an X-ray, thumb arthritis, a fracture, or a torn ligament: I treat a person who needs to use their hand with confidence again.
I am a hand surgeon and wrist arthroscopist, and I deeply believe in minimally invasive surgery when indicated. I perform hand and wrist arthroscopy because it allows us to see injuries that are often not well understood from the outside, diagnose more accurately, and treat with the least possible aggression.
This journey has led me to preside over the European Wrist Arthroscopy Association, but in the consultation room, each patient remains a unique case deserving of time, judgment, and a personalized decision.
My way of working aims to reduce uncertainty, avoid useless treatments, and adapt the process to each person's real life. It's not the same to treat an athlete who wants to return to competition, a businessman with little time, an active woman who doesn't want to lose autonomy, or a patient who has been in pain for months without a clear answer.
Therefore, when appropriate, I offer online consultations to avoid unnecessary travel, close follow-up, postoperative care performed by myself, and home rehabilitation with the support of an artificial intelligence platform when it can help avoid losing time in overcrowded circuits.
 The value of a specialized consultation is not just deciding whether surgery is necessary. It's understanding the problem well from the beginning, choosing the correct treatment, accompanying each phase of recovery, and ensuring the patient doesn't feel lost.
My aim is that the hand or wrist that today conditions life ceases to be a source of pain, fear, or dependence, and becomes again a useful, reliable, and personal tool.

"Because our hands are meant to help us live the life we desire, not to limit it."
