The hand and wrist are delicate networks of bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage — vital to everyday activities of work and play. Because they are so central to daily living, hands and wrists are also vulnerable to injury, whether from repetitive movement, sports and athletics, or arthritis. The Methodist Center for Orthopaedic Surgery offers seasoned expertise in conditions of the hand, wrist and upper extremities. Our approach is always to take the least invasive approach first, and then follow with surgery only if necessary.
