Healing Your Hands and Wrists

If you have a problem with your hand or wrist, our hand surgeons can help heal you with or without surgery

Healing HandsYour hands and wrists are made up of a delicate arrangement of bones, muscles and tendons. They all work together to help you eat, dress, write, play music and sports, and complete any activity. When something goes wrong, you need special treatment to help you restore their proper function.

In our division of hand surgery, we have orthopedic surgeons with special education in surgery of the hand, as well as surgeons who specialize in plastic and reconstructive surgery. This team of six surgeons is the region’s largest skilled in caring for conditions affecting your hands, wrists and elbows. They also care for broken bones, nerve and tendon conditions, degenerative conditions like arthritis, problems at birth, and work-related or sports-related injuries.

Our hand surgeons use the most advanced techniques and work as a team, providing care for your injury or condition and physical therapy to help you recover faster.

For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 610-402-CARE.
