Surgery of the Hand and Upper Extremity

I am John D. Mahoney, M.D., an orthopaedic hand surgeon practicing in Peoria, IL at the Midwest Orthopaedic Center. I treat problems of the upper extremity, from the mid-portion of the humerus (arm bone) to the tips of the fingers. I treat all bone, nerve, vascular, and soft tissue problems of the upper extremity, excluding the shoulder. I treat patients of all ages. My youngest patient was less than two weeks old, my oldest (so far) is 105 years old.

My team includes hundreds of people, all dedicated to helping you get better. At our office we have a team of nurses, physician assistants, hand therapists, and support staff that are at your service. We are able to perform many aspects of your treatment at our office, including MRI, hand therapy, and selected minor surgical procedures. We perform major surgical procedures at all Peoria-area hospitals. Our office is open daily Monday through Friday, and we are available 24 hours per day through our answering service for emergencies. New patients are always welcome, and immediate appointments are available for urgent problems.

Needle Aponeurotomy and Dupuytren's Disease I have a special interest in minimally invasive surgery, including Needle Aponeurotomy (N.A.) for the treatment of Dupuytren's Disease.  You can find more information about Dupuytren's Disease and Needle Aponeurotomy on this website. I am pleased to offer Needle Aponeurotomy for the treatment of Dupuytren's Disease. Patients have been coming from all over the Midwest for this treatment. There are fewer than ten physicians currently offering this procedure in the United States, most of whom were trained by observing others performing the procedure.  I am the only hand surgeon in the United States trained in this procedure via hands-on training as part of my fellowship in hand and microvascular surgery at the University of California at Los Angeles. Contact us We encourage you to contact us whenever you have an interest or concern about hand surgery such as Dupuytren's disease, needle aponeurotomy, carpal tunnel syndrome, or any other concern.
