His most common procedures are wrist arthroscopy, carpal tunnel release, cubital tunnel release, nerve injury repair, trigger finger release, wrist fracture fixation, thumb arthritis surgery, tendon laceration repair and Dupuytren’s contracture surgery.

Dr. Bachoura became an orthopedic surgeon because he finds helping patients maintain and improve their hand and upper extremity function rewarding.
