ROCHESTER, Minn. -- The hand pain, tingling, numbness and cold sensitivity of hypothenar hammer syndrome, also known as hammer hand, are best alleviated by bypass grafting surgery, according to a new study by Mayo Clinic plastic surgeons.

"In the past, treatment of hypothenar hammer syndrome has been controversial, and physicians have been searching for some way to treat it," says Craig Johnson, M.D., chair of Mayo Clinic's Division of Plastic Surgery and lead study investigator. "From our study, it's clear that people with this syndrome shouldn't be treated with medication or other treatments, but with surgery."

Dr. Johnson explains that symptoms improved in 78 percent of the patients in his study
