- Carpal Tunnel SyndromeDr. O’Callaghan’s hand, wrist, and elbow special interests include fracture care, arthritis, joint replacement, sports injuries, and pediatric trauma and deformity. He is trained in endoscopic carpal tunnel release, and is an instructor for other surgeons. He is passionate about the care of his patients, and states, “Our hands mold our most meaningful interactions with the world, and it is a privilege to help patients with hand and upper extremity ailments. When I am with a patient, I try to not just understand their condition but what it is holding them back from and their treatment goals. From there my job is to provide education and come together on a treatment plan. Whether it’s reassurance to having surgery, I am dedicated to providing top notch treatment to each and every patient”.
- UltrasoundTraditional, endoscopic and ultrasound-guided carpel tunnel release surgery for those whose nerve pain, numbness, swelling, and limited movement do not respond to non-surgical interventions.
- Computed TomographyDuring the procedure, an advanced 3-D CT scan yields a highly detailed anatomical picture unique to each patient. Haptic technology—or surgeon-guided 3D touch—enables the surgeon to apply movements or vibrations to the joint to effectively remove soft tissue or bone and to facilitate precise implant placement. Throughout the procedure and recovery, analytical data is compiled to use against benchmarks for improved outcomes and increased patient satisfaction. “It takes our skill set to another level and allows us to perform joint replacement procedures with incredible accuracy,” says Orthopaedic Surgeon Eric Mancini, MD. “This technology is here to stay.”

- Physical TherapyRobotic-assisted surgeries compare favorably to more conventional methods in a number of key areas. Statistics reveal decreased postoperative pain with a decreased need for pain medication, shorter hospital stays, and reduced need for in-patient physical therapy. And, implant related complications or follow-up surgeries are rare. “We are always looking ahead to adopt the most promising new technologies and procedures as they become available,” Orthopaedic Surgeon Scott Nemec, DO, adds. “The addition of robotic assisted surgery expands the quality and efficacy of our comprehensive orthopaedic joint care. “
- Occupational TherapyEvidence-based treatment options based upon individual patient needs. Physical and occupational therapy, lifestyle changes, nutritional guidance, prescribed and over-the-counter medications, and injection therapy can bring relief to the patient before surgical consideration.
