Hand & Wrist

The hand and wrist consists of dozens of bones and joints, as well as ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, and cartilage that cooperatively work together to perform routine, everyday tasks. The frequency in which we use our hands and wrists makes them prone to injuries, dislocations, and fractures. Repetitive motions while at work or participating in activities can lead to tendonitis, arthritis, or carpal tunnel syndrome.

Our hand and wrist expert at Eastern Oklahoma Orthopedic Center is fellowship-trained and board-certified in providing highly specialized care and treatment for the hand and wrist. This care includes hand reconstruction, tendon surgery and tendon transfer, and joint replacement surgery to joint injections, workers’ compensation evaluations, and independent medical evaluations. Please note that although our hand and wrist specialist is a surgeon, he first explores nonoperative approaches to treatment first. If surgery is necessary, he uses the least invasive methods to achieve the greatest outcomes and results.  

If you’ve suffered an injury to your hand or wrist, Eastern Oklahoma Orthopedic Center will help you regain your strength, flexibility, and function so that you can return to your favorite activities.
