Patient Education on Common Conditions, Common Injuries, and Procedures & Treatments
At OCC – Hand Surgery Associates, our top priority is helping you return to the activities you love—whether that’s hitting the slopes, tackling the trails, or simply enjoying everyday life without pain. Our fellowship-trained physicians specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder conditions in both adults and children. From fractures of the distal radius, scaphoid, and fingers to chronic issues like arthritis, trigger finger, and carpal tunnel syndrome, we’re here to provide expert care from shoulder to fingertip.
Explore the links below to learn more about common hand and upper extremity conditions. You’ll also find helpful animations—created by our own Dr. Rovak—that illustrate many of the conditions we treat. Additional resources on the right offer in-depth explanations for a variety of arm and hand issues.
