Hand, Wrist and Elbow Treatment Options

Summa Health Orthopedics provides comprehensive care for hand, wrist and elbow conditions, offering both nonsurgical and surgical treatment options to relieve pain, restore function and improve mobility. We also offer wide-awake local anesthesia with no tourniquet (WALANT) for many outpatient hand procedures, allowing patients to avoid general anesthesia while benefiting from a safe and efficient surgical experience.
 
Every treatment plan is tailored to the patient's individual needs. Many conditions can be successfully managed with nonsurgical treatments, including:
  • Activity modification
  • Rest, ice and anti-inflammatory medications
  • Custom splinting and bracing
  • Occupational and hand therapy
  • Corticosteroid injections
  • Ultrasound-guided procedures
When surgery is necessary, patients can feel confident knowing they are receiving care from fellowship-trained hand and upper-extremity specialists with advanced expertise in both routine and complex conditions.
