Hand Institute

In order to perform daily activities such as getting dressed, typing or lifting objects, our hands require sensation and movement. These activities involve a delicate balance of nerve, vessel, tendon, bone and joint function. The surgeons of the Hand Institute at The San Antonio Orthopaedic Group are specialists dedicated to restoring the function of hands damaged by injury or disease through surgical and non-surgical treatments. Simply put, your health is our mission. For this purpose, our physicians have assembled a Total Care approach to enable the finest outcome for your care.

Our Physicians

As surgical techniques in the upper extremity have become more refined and complex, specialized training in hand surgery has become more important in the outcomes of a patient’s recovery. Each of the hand surgeons at The San Antonio Orthopaedic Group has had an additional year of fellowship training beyond the medical school and five to seven years of residency training.
