The Hand, Wrist and Elbow Division at Olympia Orthopaedic Associates brings state-of-the-art diagnosis, treatment and care for upper extremity disorders. Specially trained and board certified physicians and their support staff use state-of-the-art procedures to diagnose, manage and correct conditions which can literally run from the fingertips to the elbow.
Treatment of the hand, wrist and elbow is a highly specialized field that deals with a broad set of conditions and symptoms. Many of these are treated with non- surgical approaches such as medications, injections, and therapy. When surgery is indicated, advanced and minimally invasive procedures are performed on an outpatient basis and without a hospital stay.
Specifically, we treat a wide range of orthopedic conditions that include:
- Tendon problems such as tennis elbow, acute sports injuries and tendon lacerations
- Trauma and fractures of bones from the elbow to the small bones in the hand
- Correction of arthritis and its deformities
- Nerve compression conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome

Joint Replacement
Olympia Orthopaedic Associates’ joint replacement department is comprised of highly trained and board certified physicians. Our physicians are dedicated to managing and treating joint complications resulting from degenerative joint diseases such as arthritis, musculoskeletal disease or joint trauma.
For patients facing end stage arthritis, our team implements the latest advances in joint replacement surgery to restore and improve function for patients with severely degraded range of motion, mobility and pain.

This includes assessing existing limitations, evaluating and diagnosing the degree and type of disease or degenerative process, evaluating the level of pain being experienced and conducting a thorough discussion with patients concerning the surgical options available and rehabilitation.
