Hand & Wrist Care

Our team

CRMC offers state-of-the-art hand and wrist specialty care from elbows to fingertips that integrates surgical and non-surgical treatment to reduce pain and restore function.

Dr. Susan Moen, a fellowship-trained orthopaedic hand and wrist surgeon; Kate Sarlette, PA-C, MPAS; and Rose Bankers, OTR, CHT, CLT, are focused on giving you all the information you need to make the best decisions regarding your condition and recovery. Dr. Moen has additional, specialized training in the treatment of hand problems beyond training in orthopaedic surgery. She is a member of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand which requires a full year of additional training along with the passage of a rigorous certifying examination.

From large complex orthopedic surgeries to the intricate details of the elbow, wrist, and hand, our team specializes in reconstruction and surgical procedures that involve vessels so small we need special magnifying equipment just to see them. Don’t trust the details to just anyone. We welcome you to our practice for quality care and an outstanding patient experience. We believe there is no such thing as one-size-fits-all hand care and focus directly on individual patient needs, to create comprehensive treatment plans to help patients return to their best function as quickly and safely as possible.

Your hands are your lifeline

From threading a needle, to throwing a ball, or simply holding those you love, you count on your hands. Hand conditions certainly vary in degree of impairment. When surgery is recommended our team explains the recommended procedure and the recovery that occurs after surgery. There are surgical procedures that can be completed in the office—no need for general anesthesia. Not all problems treated by a hand specialist need surgery. Dr. Moen often recommends non-surgical treatments such as medications, splints, therapy, or injections. After your initial consultation with Dr. Moen, you may be scheduled for therapy, further diagnostic testing, or conservative treatment such as splinting, injection, taping, or casting. Hand therapy can be scheduled at either our Crosby or Baxter locations.
