General Statement:

Many disabling conditions of the hand and wrist can be improved with surgery. This can often produce a dramatic augmentation in the quality of life or productivity. Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative and/or post traumatic arthritis can be relieved by advanced reconstructive surgeries. Advanced methods of nerve decompression surgery are also practiced. Pediatric congenital deformities are also addressed. Arthroscopic diagnosis and treatment of difficult intraarticular pathology are frequently performed when indicated. This less invasive technique is one of the many advances currently used by Dr. Lenzo to assist the patients returning to their maximal functional level.

In addition to Dr. Lenzo, his practice also includes a physician's assistant who helps in treatment of care of his patients as well as an occupational therapist on the premises who can make custom made splints for the patients as well as helping them with therapy either after an injury or subsequent to a surgical procedure in an effort to regain maximal functional benefit from the doctor's treatment.
