The Upper Extremity Center at Orthopedic InstituteThe Upper Extremity Center at Orthopedic Institute addresses pain symptoms related to shoulder, arm, and hand problems. Sometimes upper extremity injuries can be caused by traumatic injury from an automobile accident, fall or impact from a contact sport, like falling while skiing. Other times, upper extremity problems are caused by strain of tendons and joints from repetitive activities. Tennis players can develop extensive shoulder and elbow problems from the repetitive strain on the racqu Orthopedic Institute has physicians who specialize in arm and hand and treat a variety of surgical and nonsurgical problems, in addition to a team of physical therapists and occupational therapists. Unlike some other orthopedic problems, those suffering from pain symptoms in the shoulder, arm, hand, and wrist can span all age ranges, from young children to older adults. For younger people, overuse injuries can be a common byproduct of active participation in competitive sports. For older people, since arthritis becomes more commonplace with age, shoulder pain can become more prevalent. Work-related injuries also play a large role with upper extremity injuries, especially where a person has a job involving heavy manual labor. The good news is that many shoulder, arm, and hand problems can be addressed with minimally invasive surgery involving tiny incisions and the use of scopes. This shortens the incision and lessens disruption to the muscles and joint area.
Our experts in Upper Extremity problems include the following physicians.
