- Carpal tunnel release - Releases pressure on the compressed median nerve in the wrist
- Closed reduction and fixation - Realigns and holds broken bones in place using internal fixtures, such as rods or wires
- Ligament and tendon repair and reconstruction - Repairs sprains and strains in the fingers, hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders
- Microsurgery - Fixes compressed or severed nerves and blood vessels in the hands and wrists
- Rotator cuff shoulder repair - Reattaches the tendon to the upper arm bone in a complete tear or trims and smooths the tendon and bone in a partial tear
- Tommy John surgery (TJS) - Replaces an injured ulnar collateral ligament in the elbow with a tendon taken from another part of the body
