J. Christopher Gayton, M.D.

J. Christopher Gayton, M.D. is an orthopedic surgeon in Conway, SC. He specializes in hand and upper extremity surgery, serving patients in Conway and Conway, SC, as well as Horry County. As a fellowship-trained hand surgeon and board-certified orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Gayton treats a wide range of injuries and conditions affecting the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder. His clinical focus includes carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis of the hand, wrist, and shoulder, as well as fractures of the upper and lower extremity.

Dr. Gayton provides specialized surgical interventions for complex joint and nerve issues. He performs total shoulder replacement surgery to relieve symptoms of severe shoulder pain and disability caused by arthritis, replacing both the humeral head and the socket with artificial prostheses. He utilizes arthroscopic surgery, a procedure that uses a flexible fiberoptic tube with a camera and lighting system to visualize, diagnose, and treat problems inside a joint. This allows for the examination of cartilage, ligaments, and tendons, and the performance of repairs, including elbow arthroscopy. Additionally, he performs endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery and endoscopic cubital tunnel release, a minimally invasive procedure to decompress the ulnar nerve for the treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome. The ulnar nerve provides sensation to the pinky and ring fingers and innervates small muscles of the hand crucial for fine motor skills and a strong grip.

Patients have praised Dr. Gayton for his personable approach, excellent bedside manner, and clear explanations of procedures, such as cortisone shots. His practice offers online appointment requests and maintains a presence on Facebook for patient inquiries.
