When a problem occurs with our hands, attention must be given to all the different types of tissues that make function possible. Orthopedic & Sports Medicine providers at The University of Kansas Health System St. Francis Campus can help make the diagnosis and provide a treatment plan designed to keep you doing the things that you enjoy. Fortunately, if these problems require surgical treatment, they often are able to be performed in an outpatient setting.

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Ganglion Cyst
