Specialized Upper Extremity Care in Your Area

We rely on our hands, wrists, and elbows for nearly everything we do. When pain or stiffness develops in these complex joints, it can significantly impact your quality of life and ability to work. Patients across St. John, Crown Point, and Lowell trust the fellowship-trained upper extremity specialists at OSNI to deliver proven, effective care for conditions affecting the arm and hand.

Conditions Hand and Wrist Specialists Treat

Upper extremity specialists possess dedicated training to handle the intricate network of bones, tendons, and nerves in the arm. Common conditions treated include:

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A well-documented condition caused by a pinched nerve in the wrist, leading to numbness and tingling in the fingers.
• Fractures and Trauma: Setting and casting broken bones in the wrist or elbow, or utilizing surgical fixation for complex breaks.
• Arthritis of the Hand: Utilizing bracing, medication, and standard joint procedures to manage pain and maintain hand function.

The Value of a Fellowship-Trained Specialist

Because the hand and wrist are highly complex, seeing a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon ensures your care is managed by someone who has undergone rigorous, specialized education. Whether you require a simple brace or standard outpatient surgery at our Crown Point center, an accurate diagnosis is the foundation of returning to your daily activities safely.
