Dr Jeff Ecker has over 35 years experience specialising in hand and wrist conditions.

He is regularly invited to present and teach his outcomes and research at international and national scientific meetings.

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.
