DOCTOR CHOOSES HAND CENTER FOR CARPAL TUNNEL RELEASE PROCEDURE
For years, Dr. Safet Hatic had been living with carpal tunnel pain in his left hand. As it worsened, he decided to have Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release surgery. Choosing the Hand Center to get his surgery was an easy decision. Dr. Harman is a close friend of his, and he trusted him to perform the procedure safely and thoroughly.
Taking less than ten minutes, Dr. Harmon made a small incision in Dr. Hatic’s wrist and used a camera and tools to clip and release the areas that were causing pain. The procedure went perfectly and Dr. Hatic was able to resume his normal activities within days.
Completely satisfied with the results, Dr. Hatic spoke about his surgery. “I am now one week status post left endoscopic carpal tunnel release,” he explained. “My only regret at this time is I didn’t do it sooner. With no restrictions after my surgery, I was able to return to work the following day, taking only an occasional ibuprofen for discomfort. If necessary, I won’t hesitate to have my other wrist released.”
Man nearly loses hand in farming accident. Harman saves hand.
A Piqua-area man was hospitalized after authorities said he nearly amputated his hand in a farming accident on Patterson-Halpin Road in Washington Township Tuesday afternoon.
Shortly after 4 p.m., Shelby County Sheriff’s Office dispatch received a report a 65-year-old man had reported nearly amputated his hand.
Upon contacting dispatch, the man, identified as William Grissom, advised he was already en route to the hospital and would meet paramedics in the parking lot of Menard’s on the west side of the city. According to authorities, Grissom was using a corn picker at the time of the accident.
Doctor Tim Harman, from the Hand Center, was able to save Mr. Grissom’s hand through surgery. Because of the Hand Center and the level of care and training they have this kind of case can be handled. Without the Hand Center and its staff this kind of trauma would have been flown to Columbus. Mr. Grissom will do his therapy at Wilson Memorial under the care of the Hand Center therapist team.
