Wrist fractures are a common injury with potentially significant consequences. Recognizing fracture signs is crucial for timely medical care, which can prevent complications and promote effective healing.

We are proud to have had Dr. Medoff travel all the way from Hawaii to San Antonio to help teach our Hand Surgery Fellows and local Orthopaedic Surgery Residents more about Fragment-Specific Fixation of complex distal radius fractures.

If you have fireworks left over after the July 4th celebrations, remember to continue to exercise caution and practice fireworks safety to avoid hand injuries and other accidents. Fireworks can still cause serious injuries...even after the holidays. We tend to see many hand injuries that could have been avoided by following simple fireworks safety guidelines.

As we look forward to time with family and friends, backyard barbecues and spectacular firework shows, we would like to take this opportunity to talk about firework safety.
