About Dr. Mark E. Pruzansky

Dr. Mark E. Pruzansky, Director of HandSport Surgery Institute, is a seasoned specialist in hand surgery, wrist surgery and microsurgery, sports injuries and arthroscopic and reconstructive surgery of the hand, wrist, elbow and brachial plexus.  With more than 20 years of high-level practice and a comprehensive knowledge of the body’s biomechanical linkages, Dr. Pruzansky is able to diagnose patients using a “kinetic-chain approach” that reveals underlying—and often overlooked—issues coming from other parts of the musculo-skeletal system.

With three board certifications in Surgery of the Hand, Orthopaedic Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Surgery (2.3% of hand surgeons worldwide, July 2015), Dr. Pruzansky is uniquely able to diagnose and treat hand and upper extremity conditions that are specific to elite and amateur athletes in addition to those afflicting almost everyone in any occupation, including retirement. One of the country’s most experienced practitioners of  Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery—over 3000 cases—and a pioneer in the treatment of Tennis Elbow, Dr. Pruzansky is dedicated to the delivery of state-of-the art surgical and medical treatment as well as supervising the patient’s occupational and physical therapy. His expertise in solving difficult problems of the hand, wrist and upper extremity is often sought, and he has been a hand surgery consultant to WABC-TV with appearances on Eyewitness News. Complex reconstructions, including Revision Surgery, are referred to the practice for evaluation and treatment.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Conditions and Treatments” tab_id=”1423122747-2-384d51-2e09″][vc_column_text]
