Hand and Wrist Service

The Mount Sinai Hand and Wrist Service provides advanced orthopaedic treatment to eliminate pain and restore function for various conditions involving the upper extremity, from a finger fracture to carpal tunnel syndrome.

• Arthroscopic surgery
• Fracture management
• Carpal tunnel release
• Nerve release/reconstruction (e.g., brachial plexus)
