Pediatric Hand and Upper Extremity Clinic

We offer a host of treatment options including casting, bracing and therapeutic modalities. At times, reconstructive surgeries, including nerve repair, tendon repairs or transfers, fracture fixation, skeletal lengthening and microvascular surgery, are used.

We evaluate and treat children with congenital differences of the upper extremity as well as acquired and traumatic disorders of the hand, wrist and elbow. Other conditions we treat are:

• polydactyly (extra digits)
• syndactyly (webbed or joined fingers)
• cerebral palsy
• joint contractures
• amniotic band syndrome
• sports injuries to hand, wrist and elbow

Our hand surgery team includes hand surgeons, advanced practice providers, and hand therapists. At your clinic visit, your child’s hand or upper extremity will be examined. Our providers may incorporate toys or other interactive approaches to help your child feel comfortable during the visit. Diagnostic studies, such as x-rays, may be performed during the visit or scheduled, as appropriate. If your child may benefit from hand therapy, a hand therapist can see them during the same visit and help coordinate therapy services near your home. If your child needs a cast or a brace, these will be applied during the visit.
