Areas of Expertise
Hand and Wrist Conditions:
The hands are a complex part of the body, and we rely on them for much of our everyday function. Doctor Butler will ask about your symptoms and perform a careful examination of your fingers and hand. To provide an accurate diagnosis of your hand or wrist issue, we may order tests, such as X-rays. Once the cause of your wrist or hand problem has been determined, we will work together to develop an individualized treatment plan.
Commonly treated conditions: Carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupuytrens contracture, fractures, ligament tears, Trigger finger, arthritis, nerve injury, tendon disorders.
Whether you have suffered a fracture or trauma to the area, or are experiencing arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, numbness, poor circulation, or general hand pain, Dr. Butler and his team will quickly get you back to work or play.
Elbow and Upper Arm Conditions:
The elbow is a hinge joint made up of the humerus, ulna and radius. The primary stability of the elbow is provided by the ulnar collateral ligament, on the medial (inner) side of the elbow. Patients can develop problems in the elbow as a result of work injuries, traumatic injuries, sports activities, and aging and degenerative conditions.
Commonly treated conditions: biceps rupture, triceps rupture, trauma/fractures, UCL tear, tennis elbow, instability, arthritis, Osteocondral defects (OCD)
Patients experiencing elbow pain may require further evaluation outside of a physical evaluation, such as advanced imaging through X-rays. Non-operative options may be discussed to prevent or delay surgery, such as physical therapy, platelet rich plasma, and diet/lifestyle modifications.
Shoulder Conditions:
The shoulder is a complex structure made of three separate joints. They work together to give the shoulder a range of motion.
Commonly treated conditions: fractures, arthritis, rotator cuff tears
Typically, nonsurgical treatment options are the first line of defense. If your condition is severe or conservative treatments have failed, shoulder surgery may be recommended. Dr. Butler is experienced in the full spectrum of shoulder and elbow surgeries, from arthroscopy and minimally-invasive procedures to complex fracture correction, partial or complete replacement, as well as reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
Commitment to Precision and Care
Drawing upon multidisciplinary expertise, the team designs integrative protocols that facilitate sustainable lifestyle improvements.
