Dr Sherif Elamari – Trigger Finger & Carpal Tunnel Surgeon

With over 16 years of international experience, Dr. Sherif Elamari is a highly respected Orthopaedic Hand & Wrist Surgeon known for his specialist expertise in carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, tendon injuries, nerve compression disorders, and complex hand trauma. His extensive training across leading orthopaedic centres, combined with a meticulous surgical technique and patient-centred approach, enables him to deliver precise, reliable, and function-restoring results tailored to each individual.

Dr Elamari completed his medical degree followed by advanced training in Orthopaedic and Hand Surgery at recognised institutions across Egypt, Europe, and the United Kingdom. He later undertook fellowship-level training in hand and microsurgery, refining his skills in minimally invasive carpal tunnel release, tendon repair, nerve decompression, and wrist procedures. His broad experience across both trauma and elective care allows him to manage a wide range of hand and wrist conditions with confidence and clarity.

Patients appreciate his calm communication style, attention to detail, and ability to create personalised treatment plans that prioritise comfort, mobility, and long-term hand and wrist function, while always maintaining the highest standards of safety and orthopaedic care.

I believe the best outcomes come from combining anatomical precision with treatments tailored to each patient's daily needs. My goal is to restore comfort, movement, and confidence in every hand I treat.

    I had my carpal tunnel surgery with Signature. They were wonderful from beginning to end, supporting all my doubts, and now it’s been 6 months after the surgery and my life has changed. I can use my hand to work without pain thanks to the great work of the surgeon. I highly recommend.”
