⚡️Tingling in your pinky? Weak grip? Elbow pain that won’t quit?

You could be dealing with ulnar nerve entrapment—a condition where the ulnar nerve (aka your “funny bone” nerve) gets compressed, often near the elbow. Left untreated, it can lead to permanent weakness, numbness, and even muscle wasting in your hand.

At Fondren Orthopedic, Dr. Randy Luo performs ulnar nerve release surgery right here in Houston to relieve pressure and restore function—often in under an hour.

🎯 Is your young athlete complaining of elbow pain or struggling to fully extend their arm?

It could be OCD of the Capitellum—a joint condition seen in active kids and teens where repetitive stress to the elbow cuts off blood flow to bone, causing cracks beneath the cartilage. Left untreated, it can lead to long-term loss of motion or even joint damage.

Dr. Randy Luo specializes in advanced, motion-preserving treatments for active youth in Houston. From early diagnosis to minimally invasive surgery when needed, we help get your athlete back—stronger and smarter.

🖐️ A minor cut. A tiny bite. A fingernail hangnail you didn’t think twice about. That’s how most serious hand infections start.

But when ignored, they can lead to permanent damage—like stiffness, nerve loss, or even tendon rupture.

Dr. Randy Luo sees it all: paronychia, felons, bite wounds, and deep space infections. Some just need antibiotics. Others need urgent drainage or surgical care. Either way, don’t wait.

If your hand is red, swollen, painful—or just feels off—call now. Houston’s trusted hand surgeon is here to help.

🖐️ You’ve just had surgery for De Quervain’s—and now it’s time to heal. But what’s normal... and what’s not?

Here’s what you CAN expect during the first few days:
✅ Mild swelling
✅ Bruising near the incision
✅ A feeling of tightness or stiffness
✅ Slight soreness around the thumb and wrist

💡 All of that is part of the healing process. In fact, most patients feel better within just a few days—and can return to normal activities in 2 to 3 weeks.

But here’s what’s NOT normal:
🚫 Persistent redness around the incision
🚫 Drainage, especially pus
🚫 Fever or chills
🚫 Increasing or severe pain

These could be signs of infection or other complications, and you should contact your care team immediately.

🧠 Remember: your body’s recovery speaks in small signals. Listen closely—and call if something doesn’t feel right.

💧 Just had De Quervain’s surgery? Let’s talk about splints, showers, and scar care—because smart healing starts at home.

🛡️ Splint Instructions:
Your bulky surgical dressing can be removed 2–3 days after surgery, unless instructed otherwise. After that, you can wear your wrist splint during the day for support, especially if you're using your hand.

🤲 Shower Tips:
Yes, you can shower!
Just avoid soaking the incision or letting water hit directly until it’s fully closed.
➡️ Gently pat dry after.
➡️ No bathtubs, pools, or hot tubs yet.

💉 Scar Care & Healing:
Once your incision has healed (usually by your follow-up), you can begin gentle massage with lotion or vitamin E to reduce scar tightness. This also helps improve flexibility in the wrist and thumb.

🎯 These small steps—cleaning, drying, massaging—go a long way in giving you the smoothest, strongest recovery.

Got a strange little bump on your wrist that comes and goes? You’re not alone.
It could be a ganglion cyst—a fluid-filled sac that often shows up on the wrist or hand. It’s not dangerous, but it can be annoying, painful, or even interfere with your grip or range of motion.

Dr. Randy Luo treats these common cysts with expert care—whether through aspiration, splinting, or surgical removal when needed. Most folks walk out feeling relieved and ready to use their hand again.

💪 Think recovery means doing nothing? Not here.
After De Quervain’s surgery, early motion is part of the medicine. In fact, many patients start using their hand for daily activities within just a few days—and we encourage that!

Here’s your guide:
✅ Use your hand for light activities as comfort allows.
✅ Gently move your thumb and wrist to prevent stiffness.
✅ Keep the dressing clean and dry—but don’t keep it on longer than needed.
✅ Avoid lifting anything heavy for at least 2 weeks.

🏋️ If your job involves physical labor or heavy lifting, plan to take at least 2 to 3 weeks off, possibly longer depending on your progress.

💡 Most patients return to full activity within a month.
Your hand has a job to do—and we’re here to make sure it heals with strength, comfort, and full function.

10/14/2025

🛠️ On the job, your hands are everything. But one split-second slip, strain, or smash—and your livelihood’s on the line.

Workplace hand injuries aren't just painful—they're personal. Whether you’re on a rig, in a shop, or at a desk, Dr. Randy Luo brings precision and compassion to every diagnosis, every treatment, every recovery.

From lacerations to nerve damage, we help Houston’s hardest workers heal right—so they can get back to work, safely.
