In addition to accepting hand surgery cases involving common hand problems like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Trigger Finger, Dr. Capone also performs more complex hand surgery at his Pittsburgh practice, offering new hope to patients with deformities of the hands and wrists caused by severe rheumatoid arthritis. In the past, these patients have had to learn to cope with the pain and loss of function caused by rheumatoid arthritis. Dr. Capone can now offer them a solution with advanced hand surgery at his surgi-center in Pittsburgh.
Dr. Capone has treated numerous patients with hand deformities caused by rheumatoid arthritis, performing hand surgery that effectively replaces the arthritically diseased joints of the hands and wrists.
"The key benefit of my procedure is improved functionality of the joints, while eliminating hand deformity."- Dr. Capone
A pioneer in hand surgery, Pittsburgh plastic surgeon Raymond Capone helped to develop a procedure for preventing implant breakage, which once plagued early efforts to replace the small joints of the hand and wrist. Using metal backings for the implants, this new technology has reduced implant breakage and rendered arthritic reconstructive hand surgery a feasible and durable solution to the problem of the crippled hand.
