Hand & Wrist
Our Approach to Hand & Wrist Care
Hand and wrist injuries and conditions can have a major impact on the quality of your daily life and limit your ability to do even the most basic activities. If left untreated, the pain, weakness, stiffness, numbness, and other common symptoms associated with hand and wrist injuries can become chronic, so it’s important to be proactive and seek care from an experienced specialist.
The board-certified hand and wrist surgeons at Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush (MOR), along with our primary care sports medicine physicians, are here to relieve your pain and help you get back to being your best again. We see the most arm or upper extremity patients of any healthcare group in Illinois, and our experts have the experience and knowledge to correctly diagnose and treat even the most complex and rare conditions.
If you have new or chronic symptoms, we'll find the right solutions to help you feel better as soon as possible, including minimally invasive surgical treatment, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and biologic injections.

Leaders in Minimally Invasive Hand & Wrist Techniques
Opting for minimally invasive hand or wrist surgery rather than traditional open techniques has many potential benefits, including shorter hospitalizations, less postoperative pain, faster recovery, reduced blood loss, less soft tissue damage, less scarring, and improved function.
The board-certified, fellowship-trained physicians at MOR have many years of experience with minimally invasive procedures, and we’re continually developing new techniques to deliver the best outcomes. In fact, MOR surgeons have designed and patented many innovative technologies, including several internal fixation devices for hand and wrist fractures that enable repair without causing additional trauma.
One Team, from Physicians to Therapists
For many patients with a hand or wrist injury, the rehabilitation process can as be important as the surgery itself. MOR offers physical and occupational therapy services as part of an integrated care model, which ensures that your therapists have a direct line of communication to your doctor. By working together, we’ll help you achieve the best outcome.
