Upper Extremity (Hand, Wrist, Elbow and Shoulder)

Our staff includes board certified physicians and their support staff that use the most current equipment and procedures to diagnose, manage and treat injuries from the tips of the finger up to the elbow. Many of these conditions can be treated with non-surgical approaches such as medications, injections, and therapy. However, when surgery is required, our providers utilize highly advanced and minimally invasive procedures that they routinely perform on an outpatient basis, saving you the time and expense required with a hospital stay.

We treat a wide variety of conditions affecting the upper extremities including:

Tendon problems such as tennis elbow, acute sports injuries and tendon lacerations Trauma and fractures of bones from the elbow to the small bones in the hand Correction of arthritis and its deformities

Nerve compression conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome Severed nerves Sprains Dislocations

Shoulder Injuries and Conditions

Proliance Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine has board certified physicians with vast experience in diagnosing and treating injuries and conditions related to the shoulder. What most people call the shoulder is really several joints that combine with soft tissues like tendons and muscles to allow a wide range of motion to the arm. Shoulder pain and injuries are often related to problems with these muscles and tendons, as well as with the joint and bone. Our expertise and state-of-the-art imaging facilities, including x-ray and MRI, allow our providers to quickly and accurately diagnose conditions involving these types of structures. If surgery is required, the vast majority of these conditions can be treated with minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques that are less painful and allow for a quicker recovery. Most of the procedures are also conducted in an ambulatory surgery setting that allows our patients to avoid the expense and inconvenience of a hospital stay.

Our providers treat a wide range of orthopaedic conditions involving the shoulder including:

Tendonitis/bursitis Adhestive Capsulitis/ Frozen Shoulder Correction of arthritis and its deformities

Rotator cuff tears Dislocations Fractures
