injured hand in cast At the Advanced Hand and Upper Extremity Institute, we strive to find the gentlest and most conservative treatments to effectively treat our patients. Years of experience allow our physicians, surgeons, and physical therapists to identify procedures appropriate to the individual and injury.

Non-Operative Treatments

Non-operative treatments are the first course of action in the effective treatment of many hand, wrist, and elbow conditions. Long-range treatment plans, including physical therapy, are often extremely successful in treating these kinds of injuries. As hand and upper extremity specialists, our team is uniquely positioned to evaluate patients and treat these conditions in ways that are minimally invasive and lead to dramatic improvements in function, mobility, and pain reduction.

Common Surgical Procedures

Trauma, major sports injuries, and serious wear and tear do occasionally require surgical intervention. Our fellowship trained surgeons collaborate with our physical therapists to create a comprehensive plan that maximizes your outcome. Common surgical procedures used to treat hand, wrist, and elbow injuries include:

  • Tendon and ligament repair
  • Thumb and elbow fusion
  • Artificial joint replacement of the finger
  • Endoscopic carpal tunnel release
  • Dupuytren’s Contracture surgery, and more
