WRIST
Bridging the hand to the forearm, the wrist is comprised of several bones, muscles, tendons, and nerves. Allowing for bending, straightening, and rotating motions, wrist pain can make day-to-day tasks uncomfortable and challenging. At Orthopaedic Specialists, our wrist doctor and surgeons have advanced training and extensive education surrounding the hand and wrist.

Oftentimes, traumatic impact or crushing injuries suffered during sports or another activity can result in fractures, tendon ruptures, or severe damage to the wrist joint. Repetitive injuries happen slowly, oftentimes over many years, from a repeated motion, such as house painting, typing, or playing a musical instrument.
