From basic hand fractures, sprains, ligament and tendon tears, and carpal tunnel conditions, to reattachments of severed limbs as a result of accidents. We are also a recognized leader in innovative procedures, and recently performed the first toe to thumb attachment in the world, data on which we are compiling for follow up use and to share with other reattachment centers.
Physical therapy is available on site at all of our locations.
A physical therapist works with patients every day at their bedside while in the hospital, evaluating strength and range of motion and developing a personalized plan. Occupational therapists will work with you to practice joint and safety precautions that should be used during self-care and activities of daily living. The therapist works with you to identify adaptive equipment that may be needed for activities of daily living before discharged from the hospital. Hand and microsurgery patients receive the benefit of our interdisciplinary approach to care. This approach involves experts in all areas of orthopedics and operating room care, physicians, nursing, psychology, social services, pharmacy, nutrition, anesthesiology, pain management, infection control, and pastoral care.
