Dr. Gaurav Rastogi is a renowned orthopedic surgeon specializing in upper extremity surgeries, particularly carpal tunnel surgery. With extensive training and experience, he has established himself as a leading expert in treating carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), a condition that arises from compression of the median nerve in the wrist, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand.
Dr. Rastogi employs a comprehensive approach to diagnosing CTS, which often includes a detailed patient history, physical examinations, and diagnostic tests such as nerve conduction studies. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying causes of the condition, which can range from repetitive wrist movements to underlying medical conditions like diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis.
When conservative treatments such as splinting, physical therapy, or corticosteroid injections fail to relieve symptoms, Dr. Rastogi may recommend carpal tunnel surgery. He utilizes minimally invasive techniques, such as endoscopic carpal tunnel release, which involves making small incisions and using a camera to guide the procedure. This approach not only reduces recovery time but also minimizes scarring and postoperative pain.
Dr. Rastogi’s commitment to patient education ensures that individuals understand the procedure, potential risks, and expected outcomes. He also provides personalized rehabilitation plans to facilitate recovery and improve hand function post-surgery. His dedication to advancing surgical techniques and patient care makes Dr. Gaurav Rastogi a trusted choice for those suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, helping them regain their quality of life through effective treatment.
Dr. Gaurav Rastogi is a national board certified orthopaedic surgeon with more than 15 years of experience. He is a fellowship trained specialist in problems of shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand.
