Our team of fellowship-trained plastic and reconstructive surgeons provides specialized care for acute and chronic hand and wrist conditions and injuries. We offer surgical and non-surgical treatments to help relieve pain, restore function and improve mobility.

Our surgeons work closely with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan based on their condition, needs and goals. 

Hand and wrist conditions we treat:

  • Tennis elbow: Pain and inflammation affecting the tendons on the outside of the elbow.
  • Scaphoid fractures and nonunions: Breaks in a small wrist bone that may not heal properly.
  • Distal radius fractures and nonunions: Breaks near the wrist in the larger forearm bone, including fractures that fail to heal.
  • Ulna fractures and nonunions: Breaks in the smaller forearm bone, including fractures that do not heal properly.
  • Metacarpal fractures: Breaks in the bones connecting the wrist to the fingers.
  • Carpal instability: Damage to the ligaments that support the wrist, causing pain, weakness or abnormal movement.

Hand and wrist treatment options

Our surgeons offer advanced surgical techniques and nonsurgical treatments depending on the patient's condition.

Surgical treatments

  • Fracture fixation for scaphoid, distal radius and other wrist fractures
  • Nerve decompression surgery
  • Open and endoscopic carpal tunnel release
