Hand and Finger Fractures
Hand and Finger Fracture Care Focused on Function
A hand or finger fracture can disrupt almost everything you do, from gripping the steering wheel to typing at your desk or lifting a bag at the store. At Upper Extremity ATX, you receive focused care for hand and finger fractures so you can understand your options and plan your next steps with confidence.
We concentrate on the bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons of the upper limb. For hand and finger fractures, that means careful evaluation, clear explanations, and a treatment plan designed around your specific injury and daily activities, whether that is work, sports, hobbies, or caring for your family.
Thoughtful Evaluation and Clear Treatment Options
No two fractures are exactly alike, and the right approach depends on the pattern of the break, your goals, and your overall health. At Upper Extremity ATX, you are given time to ask questions and talk through what matters most to you before decisions are made.
During your visit, we focus on identifying which structures are involved and how the injury affects your motion, strength, and ability to use your hand. Treatment options may include non-surgical approaches or advanced surgical procedures when appropriate. The goal is to support healing while protecting long-term function as much as possible.

What to Expect From Your Hand or Finger Fracture Visit
When you come to Upper Extremity ATX for a hand or finger fracture, your visit begins with a discussion of how the injury occurred and what symptoms you are experiencing. We then perform a focused exam, looking at alignment, motion, stability, and areas of tenderness in your hand or fingers.
If imaging such as X-rays is needed to better understand the fracture, that will be reviewed with you so you can see what is going on inside the injured area. From there, we outline reasonable next steps. This may include continued observation, splinting or bracing, therapy recommendations, or discussion of surgical options when appropriate. Throughout the process, we work to set realistic expectations and explain what to watch for as you move forward in your care.
Specialized Focus on the Upper Limb
Upper Extremity ATX is dedicated specifically to conditions of the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder. That focused scope means your care is centered on the structures that matter most for grip, precision, and upper limb function. Led by fellowship-trained surgeon Travis Doering, MD, the practice emphasizes evidence-informed decision-making and a thoughtful approach to both surgical and non-surgical treatment.
Most shoulder issues seen in the practice are not primarily nerve-related, while many nerve concerns tend to arise in the wrist or hand. That perspective helps inform how we evaluate pain, weakness, or numbness that may accompany a fracture or other hand problem, and how different potential causes are considered during your visit.
Hand and Finger Fracture Care with Honesty and Clarity
Fractures of the hand or fingers can raise a lot of questions about healing time, long-term stiffness, and how quickly you can get back to your usual activities. At Upper Extremity ATX, our goal is to give you a clear diagnosis and straightforward explanation of your options, without pressure.
You will hear an honest discussion of the potential benefits and limitations of different treatment paths so you can make informed decisions that fit your life. Whether your fracture is simple or more complex, you receive focused, upper-extremity-specific care with an emphasis on communication, clarity, and respect for your time and goals.
