As recognized experts in the diagnosis and treatment of upper extremity injuries and conditions, including wrist fractures and rotator cuff tears, our Hand & Upper Extremity Center experts understand that pain in the fingers, hands, wrists, elbows, and shoulders can severely impact a patient's life. They are dedicated to taking a team approach to provide each patient with the specialized hand and upper extremity care they need to get back to the life they love.

Comprehensive Care for the Hand, Wrist, Elbow & Shoulder

Available only at the most preferred orthopedic practice in the Blue Water region, our Hand & Upper Extremity Center experts have dedicated their medical practices to the specialized field of hand and upper extremity surgery and care. Having undergone extensive training specifically in the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder, our center’s doctors are highly skilled at providing patients with the individualized care they need. They specialize in treating a broad range of injuries and conditions, including:

  • Arthritis
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Cubital tunnel syndrome
  • Dupuytren’s contracture
  • Fractures
  • Golfer’s elbow
  • Nerve injuries
  • Rotator cuff tears

When developing a personalized care plan, our hand and upper extremity doctors always consider conservative treatment methods first. Only once all applicable nonsurgical treatment options have failed to provide relief will our hand surgeons look at surgical options. If surgery is recommended, a surgical consultation will be set up at the Hand & Upper Extremity Center with our fellowship-trained hand and upper extremity surgeons, who are experts at performing specialized hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder procedures, from rotator cuff repair to carpal tunnel release and the latest treatments, including joint denervation for hand and wrist pain.
