Bobby Chhabra
Introduction
An experienced physician and orthopedic hand surgeon, Dr. Bobby Chhabra
serves the University of Virginia as a professor and chair of orthopedic surgery.
Dr. Bobby Chhabra is also the founder and former co-director of the UVA Hand
Center.
The UVA Hand Center in Charlottesville, Virginia, provides patients with an
array of medical services that emphasize care of the hands and upper
extremities. Professionals at the UVA Hand Center are capable of treating a
variety of conditions, including carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel, and other
nerve compression syndromes. In order to effectively treat patients living
with carpal tunnel syndrome, a medical condition caused by excessive
pressure on the median nerve, surgeons collaborate with neurological
experts who specialize in the condition.
The leading entrapment neuropathy condition in the United States, carpal
tunnel syndrome impacts between 3 and 6 percent of the population. While
there is no fool-proof method for preventing the development of carpal
tunnel, individuals should discuss risk factors, such as obesity and certain
nerve-damaging conditions, with a physician. Medical professionals can also
provide insight into minimizing the amount of stress individuals put on their
hands throughout the day.
Other conditions treated at the UVA Hand Center range from congenital
hand differences to arthritis, along with various fractures. To learn more
