And when you want an SMG orthopedic specialist, accept no substitutes.
No appointment necessary.
Orthopedic Tip of the Week
“Carpal tunnel syndrome is compression of the median nerve at the wrist, which supplies sensation to the majority of the fingers and the thumb muscles. Waking up with numbness is a frequent first symptom. If this is happening frequently, see a hand doctor and start wearing a rigid carpal brace to sleep. Positions where the wrist is very bent make symptoms worse. When using keyboards, try to keep your wrist straight.”
Robert Boretz, MD, FAAOS
Hand & Wrist
The hand and wrist contain 29 bones, 29 joints, 123 ligaments and 34 muscles. Together these structures combine to allow for both strength and the fine manipulation that makes our hands so useful. The complex nature of the hand and wrist also makes this part of our body delicate and prone to injury and pain.
