Lending Our Hands To Heal Yours

Injuries to the hand, wrist, or elbow - as well as arthritis and compressed nerves - make even the simplest motions and normal activities painful and difficult. This may limit or conflict with your job, recreational activities, school, and housework.

At Middlesex Health, our team of orthopedic experts has one priority: getting you back to more normal and less painful use of your hands, wrists, and arms. We will work with you throughout the entire process from diagnosis through treatment and recovery to ensure you meet your goals for health and functionality.

These groups represent some of the most talented surgeons in all of Connecticut, which explains why Middlesex Health's Orthopedic services are ranked in the top 10% in the country. These groups have established relationships with the hospital, which allows for coordinated care from surgical planning through recovery, therefore improving surgical outcomes.

  • Nerve compression
  • Sprains
  • Repetitive injuries of the hands and wrists
