Hands & wrists,
in careful keeping.
Specialist hand & wrist surgery for adults and children across Derby and Sheffield, with a special interest in children, congenital hand differences, and the teenage transition to adult care. You’ll be treated as an individual: understood first, and never rushed.
Prof. Holly Morris My NHS practice is based at the Pulvertaft Hand Centre in Derby, an internationally recognised centre of excellence in hand and upper-limb care, where I treat both children and adults.
I offer clinics over a variety of locations between Derby and Sheffield, and help teenagers as they transition between children’s and adult services. I also offer the novel ultrasound-guided trigger finger and carpal tunnel release using Spirecut™.
I believe treatment should be tailored to you, or your child, as an individual. Knowing your aims, returning to a sport, an instrument, or simply comfortable daily life, helps me work with you to shape your care. I work closely with a team of hand therapists for pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation, and I view surgery as a last resort for many conditions: where possible we control symptoms first with targeted exercises, splinting and steroids.

ExploreEvery plan, considered before the first mark.
A worked example, a child born with two joined fingers (syndactyly), set down step by step. Hover or tap a plate.
A joined hand
Some babies are born with two fingers gently joined — syndactyly. It is common, and it is no one’s fault.
Measured, then drawn
Every release is mapped before a single mark is made — the way a maker drafts a pattern before the first cut.
Gently separated
The fingers are parted and the small wounds closed with care, then watched over closely and comfortably.
Two free fingers
In time, two independent digits — free to grip, to point, to hold a crayon and a parent’s hand.
Every patient is assessed on their own terms, timing, technique and the number of steps are always planned around you or your child, never rushed.
From first word to last.
Getting to know you
An unhurried consultation that starts with your aims, the sport, the instrument, the daily life you want back.
Surgery as a last resort
Where possible we control symptoms first, targeted exercises, splinting and steroids, before surgery is ever discussed.
A clear plan, drawn out
If a procedure is needed, it’s explained in plain words and simple drawings, never jargon, never pressure.
Healing, together
Close follow-up alongside a team of hand therapists for pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation.

Getting back to sport, music and the things you love
