Mr. Rory Norris
IN United Kingdom
I am an experienced Consultant Orthopaedic Hand Surgeon specialising in hand, wrist and upper limb peripheral nerve surgery.
I studied medicine at the University of Dundee, graduating in 2004. I completed my higher Trauma and Orthopaedic training in the West Midlands, and in addition to my surgical training I attained a Master’s degree in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery.
I completed the prestigious Advanced Training Post fellowship in hand surgery at the Queen Elizabeth hospital in Birmingham, and in 2018 I passed the British Hand Surgery Diploma, winning the ‘Vivien Lees’ Gold Medal for the highest score in this competitive 3 day examination.
The human hand is made up of the wrist, palm, and fingers and consists of 27 bones, 27 joints, 34 muscles, over 100 ligaments and tendons, and many blood vessels and nerves.
The wrist is comprised of two bones in the forearm, the radius and ulna, and eight tiny carpal bones in the palm. The bones meet to form multiple large and small joints
A hand fracture is a break in one of the bones in the hand, which occurs when force greater than the bearable limit is applied against a bone. The most common symptoms of a hand fracture include severe pain, swelling, bruising or bleeding, deformity and discolouration of the skin, and limited mobility of the hand.
Wrist arthroscopy is a keyhole operation on the wrist joint. It serves two main purposes. Primarily, it is a visual inspection of the inside of the wrist. Based on the visual inspection, the procedure can also be used to carry out small repairs, either
