Orthopedics

If you have been putting off treatment for a lingering or life-limiting hand or wrist injury, the highly-trained hand and wrist physicians at St. Luke's Orthopedic and Total Joint Center in St. Louis can help.

Our surgeons are experts in small joint surgery of the hand and wrist and understand the complexity of their function and mechanics. Whether your injury resulted from overuse, injury or another condition, we can perform arthroscopic or minimally invasive techniques to restore your hand or wrist to optimal function and stability and allow you to return to the activities or work you're accustomed to. We make every effort to utilize non-surgical options before surgery including rest, physical or occupational therapy, medication or other conservative measures. However, surgical intervention may be needed.

Hand and wrist conditions we specialize in:

• Fractures and dislocations of the hand and wrist
• Flexor and extension tendon injuries
• Peripheral nerve injuries
• Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis of the hand
• Nerve compression syndromes (carpal tunnel syndrome)
• Chronic wrist pain
• Tumors of the hand

Our team of hand and wrist experts also consists of rehabilitative therapists who work individually with you on a program that puts your life back on track.

• Fracture
• Stiffness
