The hands are among your body’s most intricate anatomical structures. If your hands become injured or debilitated, repair or reconstruction demands a high degree of surgical skill. The hand surgeons at Doctors Hospital have established The Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine as a premier provider of hand and upper extremity care. Our hand specialists have undergone advanced training that allows them to perform complex procedures, which include:
• Trauma
• Nerve repair
• Tendon/ligament reconstruction and repair
• Compound fracture repair
• Soft tissue repair and reconstruction
• Cyst removal
The Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine hand surgeons restore function and mobility for a diverse range of hand and upper extremity problems. Some of these conditions include:
• Sports injuries of the hands and wrist
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Arthritis
• Birth defects
• Hand, wrist and forearm fractures
• Wrist pain
• Trigger finger
Whenever possible, our surgeons opt for non-surgical therapies. These therapies may involve physical therapy, medication, splints or injections to alleviate pain. Sometimes, however, surgery is the most effective solution. Doctors Hospital hand specialists are known for their use of minimally invasive and computer-assisted surgery. They are also experts at performing microvascular and nerve surgery, ligament reconstruction, tissue implants and cartilage restoration. Arthroscopy or traditional open surgery techniques are used for joint replacement, tendon and ligament repair and reconstruction or to remove excess bone or tissue.
At the Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, we work hard to maintain the right balance of medical expertise, advanced technology and supportive patient care. Our goal is to give patients enhanced mobility, freedom from pain and a renewed sense of hope.
