WRIST SURGERY
The wrist is an incredibly complex joint composed of many bones, ligaments and tendons all working together to place your hand in positions that are functional.
Full mobility of the wrist is important, but a mobile wrist that is too painful to use makes the whole hand useless. At CQ Hand + Upper Limb, we aim to remove pain from your wrists, while keeping as much movement as possible. We also manage injuries of the wrist to prevent problems developing.
TRAUMA
