Hand and Upper Extremity Program

The Hand and Upper Extremity Program of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery is dedicated to the comprehensive care of all upper limb conditions in infants, children, and adolescents.

With over 3,000 pediatric visits per year, our team of surgeons, nurses, hand therapists, and prosthetists is one of the most experienced in the country for the evaluation and care of complex congenital differences in the hand and upper extremity, and our care of brachial plexus birth palsies is nationally and internationally renowned.

Under the direction of Dr. Peter M. Waters and Dr. Donald S. Bae, patients with:

congenital,
neuromuscular,
sports-related, oncologic, and
traumatic or post-traumatic

conditions of the upper extremity receive multi-disciplinary care involving occupational and physical therapy, splinting, casting, and reconstructive surgery.
