Hand and Wrist Surgery in Cancun: Treating Carpal Tunnel and Dupuytren’s Without Insurance Stress

When most people think of orthopedic surgery, they think of knees, hips, or shoulders.

But for many patients, the most disruptive pain isn’t in their back or legs—it’s in their hands.

We use our hands for everything: writing, typing, driving, cooking, holding a child, turning a doorknob. So when pain, numbness, or finger stiffness sets in, it doesn’t just affect comfort. It affects independence.

And yet, despite how vital these procedures are, hand and wrist surgeries are routinely delayed, deprioritized, or denied—especially in Canada’s public health system and U.S. private care without insurance.

That’s why more patients are choosing Cancun for a faster, safer, more affordable path to recovery—with My Medical Vacations by their side every step of the way.

Common Conditions We Treat

Our orthopedic hand specialists perform safe, minimally invasive procedures for conditions like:

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

A condition where the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, causing numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain.
Surgery: Carpal tunnel release

Dupuytren’s Contracture

A thickening of the fascia in the palm, pulling fingers inward and limiting movement.
Surgery: Fasciectomy or needle aponeurotomy to release contracture

Trigger Finger

A tendon that gets stuck and causes fingers to “lock” or snap when bent.
Surgery: Tendon sheath release

Ganglion Cysts or Bone Spur Removal

Outpatient procedures that restore mobility and reduce pain

Wrist Arthroscopy or Ligament Repair

For injuries from sports, trauma, or repetitive strain

These are outpatient procedures with short recovery times—but only when patients can actually access them.

Why Patients Are Delayed or Overcharged at Home

In the U.S., without insurance or with a high deductible, the average cost of hand or wrist surgery ranges from:

  • $6,000–$12,000 USD for carpal tunnel release
  • $8,000–$15,000 USD for Dupuytren’s contracture correction
  • $7,000–$13,000 USD for trigger finger release

In Canada, even though the procedures are technically covered, they’re categorized as elective in many provinces—leading to wait times of 12 months or more, even for patients in severe discomfort.

And for both U.S. and Canadian patients, it’s often impossible to:

  • Choose your surgeon
  • Know your exact timeline
  • Get coordinated care and rehab in a single plan

Real Patients, Real Relief

One of our recent patients—a 63-year-old retired carpenter from Calgary—suffered from advanced Dupuytren’s contracture in both hands. He could no longer close his grip, and the wait time for surgery in Alberta was over 18 months.

Through My Medical Vacations, he was:

  • Evaluated within 72 hours
  • In Cancun within three weeks
  • Had both hands operated on in one surgical session
  • Stayed in our recovery residence for 5 days
  • Returned home with video follow-up and a physiotherapy referral

He told us:

It was the first time in two years I could shake someone’s hand again. That meant more than I can explain.”
