Hand & Upper Extremity Disorders
The hands and upper extremities are some of the most complex and important parts of the human body, allowing us to function and communicate in the world. Throughout our lives, our hands, wrists, forearms and elbows are also extremely vulnerable to damage from injuries, overuse, and numerous degenerative conditions, like arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Fortunately, at Sierra Pacific Orthopedics, physicians with special interest and training in hand and upper extremity disorders are available for your care. These highly trained specialists are experts in the treatment and care of disorders from the elbow to the fingertips, including:
- Tendon problems such as tennis elbow, acute sports injuries, and traumatic tendon lacerations
- Fractures from the elbow to the small bones of the hand
- Arthritic problems including correction of deformities and joint replacements
- Nerve compression syndromes such as carpal tunnel syndrome
At the Sierra Pacific Orthopedics, surgeons with special interest, education, and commitment to care of the upper extremity work directly with sports and rehabilitation specialists to care for their patients. Advanced diagnostic modalities such as MRI scanning and wrist arthroscopy are present on-site at the facility.
Our goal is to help you return to the normal, healthy, and active lifestyle you deserve.
