Hand and wrist surgeon in Sabadell

Hand and wrist surgery in Sabadell

Dr Marta Martí Puente is a specialist in Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology dedicated exclusively to the hand, wrist and microsurgery. She consults at Àptima Centre Clínic Sabadell, which allows people from the Vallès Occidental area to access a specialist assessment without travelling to Barcelona.

She is also a member of the Hand Surgery and Replantation team at Corporació Sanitària Parc Taulí, Sabadell’s reference hospital, where she takes part in the care of complex and emergency hand conditions.

Most common reasons for consultation

People who attend the Sabadell consultation usually do so because of:

night-time tingling in the fingers, suggestive of carpal tunnel syndrome;
pain at the base of the thumb caused by thumb base arthritis;
a finger that catches or locks, characteristic of trigger finger;
after-effects of a distal radius fracture or scaphoid fracture;
pain on the little-finger side of the wrist caused by a TFCC injury;
work-related or sports injuries of the tendons and nerves of the hand.

How the visit works

The first consultation is dedicated to listening to the problem, examining the hand and wrist in detail and reviewing any existing tests. If additional tests are needed, such as an X-ray, ultrasound, MRI or nerve conduction study, they are requested at that point.

Once the diagnosis is clear, the treatment options are explained, always starting with conservative ones where they exist: splinting, rehabilitation with hand therapists, injections or adaptation of activity. Surgery is considered when it is indicated, and at that point what it involves, the type of anaesthesia and the expected recovery are detailed.
