Hand and Wrist

Our hands serve many purposes. They help us eat, write, dress, earn a living, create artwork and more. To accomplish these tasks, our hands require sensation and movement. When our hands are injured or suffer from disease, special medical care is required.

At University Orthopaedic Surgeons, our goal is to help patients return to normal functioning sooner and at improved levels. We have developed expertise in the treatment of hand and wrist injuries as well as diseases of the bones, joints, nerves and tendons of the hand, congenital abnormalities, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Find out if surgery is required for your hand or wrist condition. Call 865-546-2663 to make an appointment with one of the board-certified physicians at University Orthopaedic Surgeons.
