The Hand & Upper Extremity Center of San Antonio is a private practice group of academically oriented Plastic and Orthopaedic Surgeons who represent diverse training backgrounds and multiple generations. Each attending surgeon is fellowship-trained in Hand and Microvascular Surgery.
The ACGME-accredited fellowship offers a broad experience in all conditions affecting the upper extremity, placing emphasis on diagnosis, consideration of conservative management options, understanding of surgical indications, a mastery of and appreciation for basic surgical principles and the acquisition and refinement of microsurgical skills.
Fellows will gain confidence in the operative and non-operative management of upper extremity fractures, peripheral nerve injuries and compressive neuropathy, reconstruction of degenerative conditions, microsurgical reconstruction of soft tissue defects, and more. From fingertip to shoulder, fellows will evaluate and treat a wide variety of conditions in both children and adults.
