The elbow is referred to as a synovial hinge joint, or the location where the humerus in the upper arm meets the radius and ulna in the forearm. An injury or disease can harm the joint and make it painful to move. Although elbow pain is not typically life-threatening or serious, it can hinder an individual's quality of life since the elbow is necessary to perform certain arm and hand movements.

Hand and wrist pain can be frustrating. After all, we use our hands for almost everything we do. For this reason, hand and wrist pain can make everyday activities like brushing your hair or tying your shoelaces difficult.

Office Policies

Report

A complete list of medication, including dosages, the name, address, and telephone number of your referral source and your primary care physician. Given the frequently urgent nature of an orthopedic practice, our surgeons may need to rearrange their office schedules from time to time. Although we prefer not to cancel any patient's appointment, our office staff may need to do so if the physician is called away to an emergency. Please provide our staff with an alternate telephone number in the event that an emergency rescheduling situation arises.
