|  Reaching, grabbing, writing, driving, lifting, or waving-all activities that we take for granted.
Each of these seemingly simple daily activities and many, many more are only possible because of the versatility and flexibility of the upper extremity. This area of the human body is uniquely complex and includes the joints, bones, and muscles of the fingers, hand, wrist, arm, elbow, and shoulder. Its intricate and mobile design coupled with the use and abuse sustained each day can make this region of the body highly susceptible to injury.
Evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation of the hand require a special set of skills. We employ a team of orthopedic surgeons and other medical professionals specializing in hand and upper extremity orthopedics who are well versed in treating a variety of conditions affecting the shoulder, arm, and hand, from carpal tunnel release to the replantation of a limb. At Chilton, clinical expertise is applied to quickly establish an accurate diagnosis and develop a plan of care that fits the needs of each patient suffering from upper-extremity pain or discomfort.
