    I have the opportunity to help restore function and allow patients to resume what they want and need to do. Some patients just need to understand their condition, while others may benefit from therapy or surgery. I treat conditions in the upper extremity, from the elbow to the hand. This includes common conditions, such as fractures, dislocations, and ligament injuries of the hand, wrist, or forearm. I also treat nerve compressions in the wrist or elbow, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or cubital tunnel syndrome, arthritis of the thumb, hand, and wrist, and tendonitis. I also see patients of all ages for less common conditions, such as vascular disorders and developmental and acquired conditions. Outside of work, I enjoy sports and spending time with my family. Dr. Hammert is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Trigger Thumb. His top areas of expertise are Rhizarthrosis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Trigger Thumb, Fasciotomy, and Osteotomy.

    I am a hand and reconstructive surgeon who treats all conditions of the hand, wrist, and forearm and performs nerve and soft tissue reconstructive procedures all over the body. I have a particular interest in conditions causing poor blood flow to the hands and reconstruction of traumatic upper and lower extremity injuries. I trained as an engineer and try to be analytical and thorough in my approach, but I truly cherish most the personal engagement and interaction I have with my patients. During my medical training, I enjoyed learning about the complexities of the form and function of the hand, so I decided to focus my practice in this area. My father was a family medicine doctor and I have always felt that being a doctor is one of the highest callings. Dr. Mithani is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Trigger Thumb. His top areas of expertise are Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Rhizarthrosis, Trigger Thumb, Osteotomy, and Fasciotomy.

    I’m an orthopaedic surgeon that specializes in elbow, wrist and hand injuries. I treat fractures, sports injuries, and acute traumas, as well as more common ailments like tendonitis, carpal tunnel, arthritis and trigger fingers. The best thing about going to work every day is that regardless of the number of patients I have at a time, I have the opportunity to make a difference in each patient’s life. Duke offers cutting edge technology and research, but we also excel in patient care. That combination makes Duke a special place for our patients. Outside of work, I like to spend time with my wife and two children. We enjoy following the Boston Red Sox and local baseball teams. For exercise I like to run, swim and play tennis.

    I see a wide variety of patients, including those with hand, wrist, forearm and elbow injuries and trauma. I also treat those with chronic problems stemming from overuse and hand and wrist arthritis, as well as sports injuries of the hand and wrist. I enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds and the creativity and technical skill involved in surgery. My approach to care involves trying to understand the patient’s lifestyle needs and working to restore their quality of life. I am very passionate about what I do, and I try to make sure my patients feel that passion as well. I grew up in a family with many professional football players. When I was 15 years old, I decided to become an orthopaedic surgeon so I could help athletes like those in my family. However, I’ve realized that I enjoy the diversity that comes with seeing all different types of patients. In addition to being a diehard professional football fan, I spend time with my husband and children and enjoy fitness and traveling.

    I chose a career in medicine to combine my passion for science with my calling to care for people. There is little in life that brings me more joy than making people feel and function better. My interest in the complex anatomy of the upper extremity led me to pursue a career as a hand, wrist, elbow, and microvascular surgery specialist. I consider myself to be incredibly lucky to be a part of Duke Health, an institution that believes in being on the cutting edge of medical science while always making sure that individual patients get the absolute best care. Duke Health gives me the support necessary to teach trainees and pursue my research interests while staying true to my personal belief that the patient always comes first.

    I am an orthopaedic surgeon who is the chief of hand surgery at Duke. Although we are referred to as “hand surgeons,” I treat many people with wrist and elbow conditions. Because the hand is so complex, patients who see me can have complaints that range from numbness and weakness to issues with range of motion. My grandfather, my grandmother, my mother and my father were all health care workers. I have wanted to be a surgeon since I watched M*A*S*H on the television as a child. I obtain great satisfaction from treating someone who has a very severe hand or arm injury, reconstructing the part and restoring its basic function. Duke has been the strongest hand surgery program in the country for the past 50 to 75 years. As chair of the program, I want patients to know that the best and the brightest providers are seeing them when they come to Duke.

    What is the definition of Trigger Thumb?

    Trigger finger or thumb, also known as digital stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition in which a finger or thumb is stuck in a position as if it were squeezing a trigger. When the thumb or finger straightens, it may do so with a snap, as if a trigger were being released. Trigger finger or thumb is caused by a narrowing of the sheath that surrounds a tendon due to inflammation, and often occurs from work that requires repetitive gripping motions. The condition is more common in women and people with diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or gout, or can also occur as a complication of carpal tunnel surgery.

    When should I see a Trigger Thumb doctor near Morrisville, NC?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Trigger Thumb doctor near Morrisville, NC?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Trigger Thumb doctors near Morrisville, NC?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Trigger Thumb doctors near Morrisville, NC?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Trigger Thumb doctor near Morrisville, NC?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Trigger Thumb doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Trigger Thumb doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Trigger Thumb doctor near Morrisville, NC?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Trigger Thumb doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Trigger Thumb doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Trigger Thumb doctors near Morrisville, NC?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Trigger Thumb doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Trigger Thumb doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Trigger Thumb doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
