Dr Jeff Ecker has over 35 years experience specialising in hand and wrist conditions. Recognised as one of the few surgeons competent in all aspects of hand and wrist surgery, he has authored scientific research articles and book chapters in the field of upper limb surgery. He is regularly invited to present and teach his outcomes and research at international and national scientific meetings.

Dr Ecker is often called upon to operate on some of the most challenging injuries, disorders and corrective reconstructive work. His specialist interest is the treatment of complex wrist problems, including scaphoid fractures, fracture non-unions and wrist arthroscopy. He has played a leading role in introducing and refining techniques for arthroscopic wrist surgery, and performed the world’s first supraretinacular endoscopic carpal tunnel release – a revolutionary technique he developed which eliminates the risk of damaging the median nerve.
