You may be surprised to learn that the hand is actually a very delicate area of the body. Your hand contains an intricate network of nerves and blood vessels, as well as tendons, ligaments, muscles, skin, and bones. Your hands perform countless coordinated motions each day and provide you with constant sensory information to help you learn about your environment. 

 

Hand injury and hand disorders can cause pain, loss of sensation, loss of movement, and impaired function. A problem in the hand must be dealt with very carefully because of all the structures and functions involved. This is why hand surgery is a very specific field of medicine and requires an experienced expert. Dr. Steve Meadows has completed specialized Fellowship Training, in addition to Board-Certification in Orthopedic Surgery, and passed the American Society for Surgery of the Hand’s National Examination, making him a well-qualified hand surgeon.
