Utah Hand Surgeon
CORE physicians bring together many years of experience to diagnose and correct issues with the hand and upper extremity. This highly specialized field administers treatment for several symptoms and conditions – both non-surgical and advanced outpatient surgical procedures, and often without a hospital stay.
A significant aspect of your orthopedic care correlates to the quality of systems in place for ensuring your comfort during and after treatment or surgery. The facilities at CORE and Jordan Valley Medical Center (and all Iasis Healthcare Family of Hospitals – Salt Lake Regional, Davis Hospital and Medical Center, and Pioneer Valley Hospital) provide first rate care. The CORE medical and support staff is dedicated to getting you back to a more active, pain free life.
Specific finger injuries commonly occur as a result of many popular sporting activities in Utah. Overshoot a downhill turn on a mountain bike at high speeds, and a collision with a tree can cause a ruptured tendon or fracture. A fall “finger first” is a common cause of dislocation – the fingers bend back and the base of the bone slide to the top side of the joint. Your favorite biking trail at Moab’s Slickrock may bring an unexpected fall into the dirt causing Mallet finger, which is a tear of the extensor tendon and requires immediate treatment to avoid permanent deformity.
Normal wear and tear, aging, and repetitive activities such as typing on a keyboard can also cause nerve problems. If you are experiencing any hand, arm or shoulder pain get help today from the Center for Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Excellence.
