Wrist

From carpal tunnel to a wrist fracture or nerve condition, wrist pain can be related to the hand, elbow, or even shoulder. Orthopedic surgeons who specialize in the hand, wrist, and upper extremity are often sought for consultation, diagnosis, and treatment. Our hand and wrist specialists at Orthopedic Associates in St. Louis, Dr. Matthew Collard and Dr. William Feinstein, are expertly trained orthopedic surgeons with additional education, training, and focus in hand and wrist injuries and conditions. Additionally, they have extensive experience and expertise in overuse injuries and conditions in the wrist as well as the associated treatment options. Their comprehensive knowledge of the wrist, the surrounding areas of the body, and related specialties make them experts in their respective field.

SUPERIOR ACCESS TO EXCEPTIONAL HAND & WRIST CARE

At Orthopedic Associates, our team of board-certified specialists and staff strive for excellence in orthopedic medicine and podiatry, offering exceptional knowledge and skill in every patient encounter. When diagnosing injuries and conditions, our doctors consider all factors and options before offering a care recommendation and are committed to attempting nonsurgical treatment options first before recommending surgery. Our hand and wrist doctors, Dr. Matthew Collard and Dr. William Feinstein, will work with you to develop a custom treatment plan that specifically meets your individual needs and concerns.

However, for advanced conditions or serious injuries, wrist surgery, such as carpal tunnel surgery, wrist arthroscopy, or joint replacement of the wrist, may be the best treatment choice. If this is true for you, you can move forward in confidence knowing our dedicated wrist surgeon is board-certified and has additional fellowship-training in the hand and wrist and will perform the procedure with care, skill, and precision.

All along the way—from diagnosis to treatment and surgery as well as postoperative recovery—we are here for you. Our additional services, including digital X-ray, MRI, durable medical equipment (DME), physical therapy, and our surgery center, are all conveniently accessible to you.

We also have the following locations available to you in St. Louis as well as throughout Missouri and Illinois:
