Same-day trauma appointments featuring in-office imaging and casting
When traumatic hand injuries happen, we are by your side™ with same-day appointments in our Plano location.Many hand and peripheral nerve conditions are caused by injuries, but others occur in children who are born with congenital conditions. Our pediatric hand program is recognized around the world for its outcomes in both types of hand problems.
In fact, Program Director, Jonathan Cheng, M.D., is part of a team perfecting electrical interfaces that record and stimulate nerves to supply movement and feeling to a prosthetic hand. This could be life-changing for children with hand amputations.
