Tenet Saint Louis' Forest Park Hospital announced today the opening of its Upper Extremity Injury Center which acts as a referral source and treatment center for many injuries and chronic conditions of the hand and arm.

A team of experienced, specialized surgeons and clinical staff are on-call around the clock to provide consultation for or direct care to patients with upper extremity injuries.  These surgeons have effectively repaired many injuries to the hand and arm � including severed tendons, damaged nerves, broken bones, and amputations.

By direct dialing into the Center, referring physicians or emergency medical services personnel are put in touch with the team to discuss care options.

Recovery does not end with skilled surgery, because scar tissue and immobilization are particularly detrimental to healing.  Rehabilitation begins with the control of swelling immediately after surgery, and continues through use of comprehensive therapy until satisfactory results are achieved. The Center's surgeons provide oversight of the rehabilitation process, or they act as consultants through its completion.

"From providing step-by-step instructions on proper limb preservation to reattachment surgery to advice on rehabilitation, we are a ready source for our colleagues in smaller rural facilities," said Dr. Francis Dysarz, hand and micro-surgeon with the Center.

In fact, the Center has already treated several patients, including a successful thumb reattachment and a wrist trauma due to a saw injury.

Forest Park Hospital is a 450-bed acute care hospital in St. Louis headed by Chief Executive Officer John Sanders.
