If you're referred to Prof Warwick’s hand service, he and his team will do their best to diagnose your problem, learn about what you want and help you decide what is best for you. They'll discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each potential treatment. Although surgical treatment might be needed, wherever possible we try simple non-operative treatments such as therapy and injections.
