Expert management of the full spectrum of hand and wrist fractures — from simple breaks to complex intra-articular injuries.
Distal radius fractures, scaphoid fractures, metacarpal fractures, phalangeal fractures, and complex periarticular injuries. Dr. Letzelter also treats post-traumatic deformity and malunion.
Plain X-rays are the starting point. CT or MRI scanning may be used for complex injuries or when fracture is suspected despite normal X-rays.
Many fractures can be managed non-surgically with casting or splinting. When surgery is needed, Dr. Letzelter uses the latest fixation techniques to restore alignment and allow early rehabilitation.
Dr. Letzelter sees patients in Fairfax VA, Friendship Heights DC, and Children's National Hospital.
