Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the tissues surrounding the flexor tendons in the wrist swell and put pressure on the median nerve. The swelling of these tissues narrow the confined space of the carpal tunnel and, over time, crowds the nerve. The most common symptoms include numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand, an electric shock-like feeling mostly in the thumb, index, and long fingers, and strange sensations and pain traveling up the arm toward the shoulder. Symptoms usually begin gradually, without a specific injury. When surgery is required, an endoscopic method may be performed. Dr. Joyce will make a smaller incision and use a small camera, called an endoscope, to cut the ligament from inside of the carpal tunnel.

Orthopaedic Sports Specialists the practice of Michael E. Joyce, MD, Alex G. Dukas, MD and Christian A. Merrill MD/MBA. Our team is dedicated to providing you the greatest care possible. Our unique combination of onsite resources such as X-ray, ultrasound, physical therapy, and our commitment to each patient is what makes
MRI
One of the most common injuries to athletes who repetitively throw overhand is in the ulnar collateral ligament or UCL. Pain is often focused on the inside of the elbow both during and after throwing, and athletes will notice a decrease in throwing velocity. Injuries to the UCL can range from minor inflammation to a complete tear to the ligament. Your provider will confirm the extent of injuries to the UCL with an MRI.

Is a Certified Radiology Technician. She does the MRI and study scheduling as well as assists with surgical scheduling and coordination. She has been with Orthopaedic Sports Specialists since 2013.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
This wide variety of symptoms is why getting an accurate diagnosis is difficult. An expert examination is critical. Also properly performed x-rays, MRI or CT scan may be needed. Occasionally an injection of Novocain into the hip joint will finally confirm the diagnosis.

Sciatica
Sciatica is characterized by radiating nerve pain extending from the back of the hip down the leg towards the outer side of the ankle. Approximately 95% of sciatica is due to nerve root irritation in the lumbar spine (your back). This can occur in people without accompanying back pain.
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy has revolutionized the surgeons ability to help patients with a multitude of shoulder problems. With a joint as complex as the shoulder there are many things that can go wrong. The patient may experience pain, stiffness, weakness or instability; each can have many explanations. When the only treatment available was an open surgical procedure, the surgeon took his best guess and operated on that single problem. When he was right, things went well, but when he was wrong there was little inter-operative recourse.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Hip replacement surgery has experienced a renaissance over the past 5 years. Innovations in small incision and minimally invasive surgery have advanced the procedure so that most patients have a quicker and less painful recovery. Most patients will have a small 4 or 5 inch incision with dissolving sutures (no painful staples).
Ankle Surgery
Joint Replacement
Cancellation Policy: Our goal is to provide quality medical care in a timely manner. If it is necessary to cancel your scheduled appointment we require that you call by 10 a.m. one (1) working day in advance (for office visits). In order to cancel your surgery for a non-medical issue one (1) week notice is required.. Effective 01 January 2016: a fee of $50.00 will be billed for an office visit and $500 for a surgery that is cancelled without proper notice (3 weeks for total joint replacement surgery and 1 week for outpatient surgery). Appointments are in high demand, and your early cancellation will give another person the possibility to have access to prompt medical care.
Hand Surgery
While these are not sports related injuries, Dr. Joyce specializes in endoscopic carpal tunnel repair because of his general orthopaedic residency training at Barnes Jewish Hospital. Dr. Joyce had the privilege to become skilled at carpal tunnel repair, ligament reconstruction, trigger finger release and wrist arthroscopy with the late Dr. Paul Manske, a nationally renowned hand, tendon and wrist surgeon and Editor of the Journal of Hand Surgery.
Orthopedic Surgery
Arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy has been practiced for more than 25 years, but it has only been in the last decade we have seen the importance of this surgery in the treatment of patients suffering hip disease or injury. While today it is the fastest growing area of Orthopaedic Surgery, there are few true experts of Hip Arthroscopy in Connecticut. Both Dr. Michael E. Joyce and Dr. Alex G. Dukas have extensive experience in arthroscopic surgery of the hip and treating labral tears.
Hip Replacement
Minimally invasive hip replacement surgery patients are allowed to place full weight on their operative hip the day following surgery and should be walking in the hallway on the second day following surgery. Nearly all patients are ready for discharge the third day following surgery. Patients are given antibiotics at the time of surgery to decrease the risk of infection and prescribed blood thinners for 10 days following surgery to decrease the risk of blood clots. Ask our providers about the risks and benefits of Hip Replacement surgery.
Knee Replacement
Minimally invasive knee replacement surgery is an important advancement that has revolutionized the operation. Since 2003, Dr. Joyce has utilized these techniques to speed patients' recoveries and decrease post operative pain. Most patients will have a small 4 or 5 inch incision with dissolving sutures (no painful staples). By cutting less muscle tissue, patients regain strength and motion quicker and with less pain.
Knee Arthroscopy
Although arthroscopic surgery has received a lot of public attention because it is used to treat well-known athletes, it is an extremely valuable tool for all orthopedic patients and is generally easier on the patient than "open" surgery. Most patients have their arthroscopic surgery as outpatients and are home several hours after the surgery. Dr. Joyce says...

Ankle Sprain
Ankle sprains are common injuries that occur when ligaments are stretched or torn. Ankle sprain symptoms vary depending on severity. Often, the ankle is tender, swollen and discolored. The ankle can be painful to touch. Walking is usually hampered and may become difficult depending on the severity of the sprain. A feeling of instability may occur, especially in severe ankle sprains when ligaments are torn. Initial treatment includes rest, ice, compression and elevation. The RICE method promotes healing, decreases pain, and reduces swelling around the ankle joint.
Back Pain
Aquatic Therapy
OSS PT sets itself apart with the SwimEx Physical Therapy Pool. Patients of all types find the benefit in using Aquatic Therapy as part of their recovery process. Aquatic Therapy has been proven to improve power, speed, and agility, increase range of motion, improve muscle strength and endurance, as well as balance and coordination, all with the ease of ambulation and reduction of stress on the joints.

Ankle Instability
Repeated ankle sprains often cause, and perpetuate, chronic ankle instability. Each sprain leads to further weakening of the ligaments, resulting in greater instability and likelihood of developing additional problems in the ankle. When conservative treatments such as physical therapy, bracing, and NSAIDs are ineffective, your provider may consider arthroscopic surgery.
Ankle Sprain
The American Sports Medicine Institute (ASMI), under the direction of Dr. James Andrews and Dr. William Clancy, is recognized as one of the top Sports Medicine Fellowship programs in the world. The Fellowship emphasized the Arthroscopic treatment of shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and foot & ankle injuries. Many of the surgeries were pioneered at ASMI.
