Hand & Wrist Specialists in Eastern Tennessee
Orthopedic Hand Doctors & Surgeons in Knoxville, Tennessee
Board-Certified Hand and Wrist Surgeons
The hands and wrists comprise a complex tendons, joints, and bones system. Therefore, if you have experienced an injury, suffer from hand or wrist arthritis, or have a possible wrist fracture, it is essential to seek the help of a board-certified orthopedic wrist specialist. The Fellowship-Trained orthopedic specialists at Tennessee Orthopaedic offer surgical treatment for various hand and wrist subspecialties.
Who Should See a Hand Surgeon?
We recommend that anyone experiencing chronic or acute pain interfering with daily activities make an appointment to see one of our specialists at one of our eastern Tennessee orthopedic clinics. You should see an orthopedist for wrist or hand pain impacting your daily life, preventing you from performing small taks, affecting your sleep, and because conservative treatments like NSAIDs or physical therapy have not alleviated wrist pain symptoms. Seek medical treatment if you believe you’ve fractured your hand or wrist.
