Wrist Surgeons

Wrist surgeons treat injuries and conditions of the wrist, including fractures, ligament tears, carpal tunnel syndrome, and arthritis. Most are fellowship-trained hand and upper-extremity surgeons. Wrist problems are easy to dismiss as sprains, but an accurate diagnosis matters: some fractures and ligament injuries heal poorly without treatment. See one if wrist pain follows a fall or does not settle within a few weeks.
