Orthopaedic Hand & Wrist Specialist- Lehigh Valley

Available at OAA's Allentown and Lehighton Locations

When you’re living with an orthopedic injury of the hand or wrist, you may be experiencing a significant loss of your usual range of motion, as well as severe pain that can have an intensely negative impact on your quality of life. That’s why the experienced, knowledgeable team at OAA offers their experience treating a wide range of upper extremity injuries. Some of these injuries are sustained while playing sports, while others may be caused by an automobile accident or other form of trauma to the area.

Some common injuries treated by our team of upper extremity specialists include:

Hand and wrist fractures, which occur when any of the small bones in the hand or wrist are broken.
Tendon injuries, which can affect the muscles inside the hand or the wrist.
Dislocated fingers, which occur when any of your fingers have been forced away from the joint connecting them to your hand.
Boutonniere deformity, a condition in the hand that occurs after a tendon injury, causing the middle joint of your finger to remain constantly straight.

If you do require surgery for your hand or wrist condition, you can trust the surgeons at OAA to offer the least-invasive option possible to reduce your risk factors, postoperative pain, and overall recovery time. If you have questions, want to learn more, or are ready to get started on your treatment plan, schedule an appointment with OAA today.
