| The hand and upper extremity are key participants in
almost all forms of athletic endeavor. For this reason, the hand, wrist,
elbow and shoulder often sustain injuries that can limit participation
in sports. The physicians of National Hand Specialists at Union Memorial
Hospital are the most skilled and experienced in the region in caring for
hand and upper extremity injuries of the athlete, whether you are a recreational
athlete or a professional. Some of the injuries and disorders for which we care include: fractures and dislocations, soft tissue injuries like sprains and ligament ruptures, sports-related nerve and vessel pathologies and the specialized problems of the thrower. We literally “wrote the book” on sports injuries to the hand and wrist and bring that level of expertise to every patient we see. Our surgeons maintain the most advanced capabilities and technologies for diagnosing and treating sports-related injuries. That is why we have become the preferred destination for the care of the professional athlete’s hand and wrist problems, including serving as the Hand Surgery Consultants for the Baltimore Ravens, Washington Nationals and Philadelphia Flyers, as well as numerous other teams, leagues and individual athletes. Everyone can now access the same level of care that the pros receive. |
