Center of Excellence

Hand & Upper Extremity

Care for conditions of the hand, wrist, and elbow, from nerve and tendon problems to fractures and arthritis.

Overview

The Hand & Upper Extremity center treats conditions of the hand, wrist, forearm, and elbow, the structures people rely on for nearly everything they do.

Treatment ranges from splinting, injections, and hand therapy to surgery that releases compressed nerves, repairs tendons, stabilizes fractures, and treats arthritis.
