Start With the Least-Invasive Options

Most patients improve without surgery. Our team takes a conservative-first approach with treatments designed to reduce pain, improve strength, and prevent future flare-ups.

Non-Surgical Hand & Wrist Treatments

  • Pre-Surgical Evaluation and Optimization Before amputation surgery, our team conducts thorough evaluations to determine the optimal level of amputation and prepare you for the procedure. This includes imaging studies, infection management, and psychological support.
    • Advanced imaging to determine surgical approach
    • Infection control and wound optimization
  • Occupational Therapy Our occupational therapists work with you both before and after surgery to maximize hand function and help you adapt to daily activities. Therapy begins early in the recovery process to promote optimal outcomes.
    • Hand function training and adaptation techniques
    • Activities of daily living modification
  • Pain Management Our pain management specialists provide comprehensive care for both acute post-surgical pain and phantom limb sensations. We use multimodal approaches to keep you comfortable during recovery.
    • Multimodal pain control protocols
    • Phantom limb pain management

    • Functional prosthetic evaluation
    • Adaptive tool and device training

Finger Amputation

Watch how our fellowship-trained hand surgeons perform precise amputation procedures to optimize healing and preserve maximum hand function.

Surgical Hand & Wrist Procedures

  • Partial Finger Amputation When only a portion of the finger is affected, partial amputation preserves as much functional length as possible while removing damaged tissue. This procedure aims to maintain grip strength and pinch function while ensuring complete healing.
  • Complete Finger Amputation In cases of severe trauma or infection, complete finger removal may be necessary. Our surgeons use advanced techniques to create optimal wound closure and prepare the site for potential prosthetic fitting or functional adaptation.
  • Ray Amputation When the entire finger and associated metacarpal bone must be removed, ray amputation provides the most comprehensive treatment. This procedure can improve overall hand cosmetics and function by eliminating gaps between remaining fingers.
  • Revision Amputation Sometimes a previous amputation site requires revision to improve healing, reduce pain, or better accommodate prosthetic devices. Our experienced surgeons can reshape and optimize amputation sites for improved function and comfort.
Star
Over 92% of our finger amputation patients achieve complete wound healing within 6-8 weeks, with most returning to work and daily activities by 10-12 weeks post-surgery.

TB
Kind, forthright, helpful
TH
Great staff, professional and friendly, great doctor, all-around excellent experience for me
SH
Expected to see Dr. Bohm and wanted to discuss new issue; but saw PA (which is fine) and was asked about an old injection I had back in August
SB
I have not rarely worked with a physician who has it all--expertise, patience, great bedside manner, with attention to detail. I've said in the past and many times since that I believe he saved my hand post severe wrist fracture. Most recently, we talked about some numbness in that thumb, no pain, just annoyance. He explained what likely is the cause and my treatment options while leaving it totally up to me. His staff is also great
SM
Dr Kyle was so great. He helped me with out having to have surgery. His staff could communicate more.
SG
Dr Bohm is awesome! I was fortunate enough to be in the team’s office for a follow up with his colleague. That Dr (Kassa) noticed an ace bandage on my right hand/wrist and inquired about the injury. I explained to him that I was in extreme pain and was planning to see a specialist (different office) and the soonest I could get in was 1/12/25. He immediately said “No, we’re going to get you taken care of right now) they DID! I not only got to see Dr Bohm, he ordered X-rays, gave me a cortisone injection and made sure the meds I was prescribed were aligned with the plan of treatment he came up with on the spot! After the X-rays Dr Bohm sat with me to review them and he took his time to make sure I understood my diagnosis what that meant and all treatment options available to me. I was thoroughly impressed with his knowledge/ability & willingness to take the time to do that so articulately. I went to that office for a follow up regarding back/neck injections, which are great! To having a new hand specialist and being taken care of on the spot. When just hours before I was pacing the floor at home contemplating going to the ER. A place we all know would have done nothing but waste hours of my life. I couldn’t be more thankful to the people at this office and especially Dr Bohm. If you have the need for this type of Dr or any other Dr honestly, don’t waste your time looking elsewhere, this place is truly amazing. Filled with not only Dr’s but a staff that truly cares about the patient. That’s right, a Dr’s office full of people that care about there patients. It’s amazing to finally have one of these back!

RD
Very nice. Understanding
MF
Check-in staff did an awesome job helping me set additional appts and was super friendly! Dr. B was helpful as always and a pleasure to see. It did seem like the MA who brought me back may have been having a bit of a bad day. While she was proficient, she wasn’t super friendly. Maybe just having an off day or it was too early and she wasn’t awake yet :)
PG
Dr. Bohm is great! Explains everything and is informative and very knowledgeable. Pleasant to speak to.
