Specialist Interests
Mr. Wu is a highly skilled specialist in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder. He manages both routine and complex cases with precision and care. His areas of expertise include advanced keyhole surgery, Dupuytren’s disease, trigger finger, tennis elbow, and finger arthritis.
Notably, Mr. Wu is among the few UK surgeons who regularly perform keyhole (endoscopic) carpal tunnel release. This minimally invasive technique leads to less pain, faster recovery, and virtually invisible scarring. As a result, patients benefit from quicker returns to daily activity.
In addition, Mr. Wu is a recognised expert in thumb joint replacements and 3D-printed custom implants for wrist fractures. These cutting-edge solutions are designed to restore mobility and deliver long-term pain relief. His commitment to innovation ensures patients receive the most advanced care available.
