The Children’s Hand and Upper Extremity Program offers a wide range of services for patients who need specialized medical and surgical care for congenital or trauma induced conditions of the
hand and upper extremities.
We are the only facility in Atlanta that offers advanced “intelligent hand” technology and treatment for patients with full or partial limb deficiencies. This technology is an active, electronic prosthesis that lets patients grasp and move objects with fully articulating fingers.
After surgical and non-surgical intervention, our Hand and Upper Extremity Therapy Program can help patients reach the highest level of function possible. Our pediatric-trained therapists are experts who work closely with our team of doctors to ensure continuity of care throughout a patient’s experience.
Our pediatric-trained staff provides a comprehensive approach to care that combines the talents of a leading-edge team of pediatric surgeons, radiologists, nurses and therapists to achieve better outcomes for your child. Our primary goal is to provide quality care for each patient. We also feature a collaborative, child- and teen-friendly environment that covers both the physical and emotional aspects of treatment.
