Precise Surgical Care for Wrist, Hand, and Finger Fractures
Broken bones in the wrist, hand, or fingers can affect everything from grip strength to fine motor skills. When a fracture is unstable, misaligned, or involves joint surfaces, surgery is often the best way to restore normal movement and avoid long-term stiffness or deformity.
At Michigan Orthopedic Center, our fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons provide expert surgical repair for fractures of the upper extremity. Using advanced techniques, we realign and stabilize broken bones to promote healing and help you regain strength and function as quickly as possible.
When Surgical Fracture Repair Is Needed
Not all fractures heal well on their own. Surgery may be recommended when:
- The bone is displaced or angled abnormally
- The fracture involves a joint surface
- There are multiple fragments
- The injury is unstable
- Non-surgical treatment has failed to maintain alignment
Our surgeons carefully evaluate your injury and determine the most effective approach to ensure proper healing and functional recovery.
