Surgeries

The surgeons at RHSI bring state-of-the-art diagnosis, treatment and care for upper extremity disorders. Specially trained and board certified physicians and their support staff use procedures to diagnose, manage and correct conditions which can literally run from the fingertips to the shoulder.
