Hand, Wrist, & Elbow Surgery - St. LouisYou may be surprised to learn that the hand and wrist is actually a very delicate area of the body. Your hand and wrist contains an intricate network of nerves and blood vessels, as well as bones and tendons, ligaments, muscles, some of which extend to the elbow. Wrist injury, hand disorders, and elbow conditions are common and can cause pain, loss of sensation, loss of movement, and impaired function. A problem in the hand and wrist must be dealt with very carefully because of all the structures and functions involved. This is why hand and wrist surgery is a very specific field of medicine and requires experienced experts, such as those at Orthopedic Associates.
