Hand surgeries performed by Dr. Peterson include:
- Carpal tunnel release to repair carpal tunnel syndrome
- Dupuytren's contracture to repair contracture of the fingers, usually the ring or small finger
- Syndactyly, a congenital defect in which two or more fingers are fused together, usually corrected soon after birth
