Winter Sports Are Here!

Whether you're hitting the slopes for skiing and snowboarding, shooting hoops on the basketball court, or wrestling on the mat, winter sports demand strength, agility, and quick reflexes. But with intense competition comes the risk of upper extremity injuries—from skier's thumb and wrist fractures to elbow dislocations and finger ligament tears.

At The Hand & Upper Extremity Center of Georgia, our fellowship-trained specialists focus exclusively on injuries to the hand, wrist, and elbow. We understand the unique demands winter sports place on your upper extremities and provide expert care designed to get you back to competition safely and confidently.

Don't let an injury keep you on the sidelines. Call (404) 341-6651 to schedule an appointment with our specialists.

🦃🔪 Turkey Carving Time!

Before you dig into that delicious bird, keep these carving tips in mind so the only thing you’re serving up is smiles (and seconds 😉):

• Use a sharp knife—it’s actually safer than a dull one.
• Keep your cutting area dry and steady.
• Always carve away from yourself.
• Let the turkey rest before slicing.

Carve smart, stay safe, and enjoy every bite of your holiday feast!

And as always, if something goes awry, we’re here to help—just give us a call!
