Dr. Jeffrey Greenberg answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Another opinion: It may be beneficial to obtain another opinion from a specialist in the field, an orthopedic surgeon that does a lot of wrist reconstruction or preferably a hand surgeon, as opposed to the opinion from the occupational therapist.
