A member asked:
What is a wrist specialist able to tell me that the orthopedic doc can't seem to find?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fellowship trained: A specialist is an orthopeadic surgeon that has done an extra year of training in a particular area like the hand. Sometimes because their area of focus is narrowed to a single body part they might be to determine a problem missed by others.
