What do Hand, Wrist, and Extremity Specialists Do?

Hand and upper extremity surgeons, hand surgeons reduce or get rid of pain and restore hand movement and function.  We all do a lot with our hands every day.  Injuries, repetitive tasks, or other conditions can make use of these important tools quite difficult and frustrating. When a problem to the hand, wrist, forearm or elbow will not go away, it may be time to see a specialist.

AVORS Medical Group orthopedic specialists are solely focused on treating the bones, muscles, nerves, and joints of the hand and related extremities. They see patients for a variety of reasons. Sports-related injuries to the hand or wrist can result in fractions or dislocations. This kind of trauma can also include tendon, nerve and blood vessel injuries. Other times it might be work-related injuries due to an accident or occur from years of repetitive motion such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Whatever the cause, we have highly-skilled specialists that can treat arthritis, vascular disease and circulatory disturbances in the hand, trigger finger, cubital tunnel syndrome, and radial tunnel syndrome.


What conditions does a Hand Surgeon treat?

They treat various hand injuries including: 
  • Sports injuries and conditions/tennis and golfer elbow
  • Carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome
  • Trigger finger
  • Trauma
  • Tendinitis/arthritis
  • Nerve compression symptoms
  • Wrist and hand pain
  • Fracture management of hand, wrist and forearm
  • Arthroscopic procedures
  • Occupational and work-related injuries
  • Nerve healing and repetitive use injuries
