With extensive experience treating hand trauma at major medical centers, he provides precise treatment for both simple and complex injuries. Call now to schedule your consultation or learn more!
Symptoms and Causes of Hand Fractures
A hand fracture happens when one or more of the bones in your hand break because of an injury. This can affect the fingers, the bones in your palm, or the joints.
Common symptoms are pain, swelling, bruising, stiffness, and fingers that may look out of place.
It is important to get checked quickly, since untreated fractures can heal the wrong way and cause lasting stiffness, weakness, or trouble moving your hand. Our hand and wrist specialist will examine your injury and use imaging tests to find the best treatment for you.
Personalized Hand Fracture Treatment Options
The right treatment depends on where the fracture is, what kind it is, and how severe it is. Our hand fracture surgeon provides both nonsurgical and surgical options to help you get the best possible result.
Nonsurgical care may include:
- Splinting or casting
- Activity modification
- Pain management
- Hand therapy for mobility and strength
If the fracture is complex or unstable, surgery may be the best choice. Our fellowship-trained hand and upper extremity surgeon in Houston, TX, uses advanced techniques with pins, screws, or plates to stabilize the bone so it can heal properly.
His training at the University of Colorado and years of trauma experience allow him to handle delicate hand structures with precision.
