What is a Fellowship Trained Hand Surgeon?

Dr. Pedro Loredo Hand Surgeon Dallas Fort Worth Hand Associates of North Dallas

A fellowship trained hand surgeon, is trained to diagnose and treat all problems related to these different structures in the hand, wrist, and forearm.

The hand is a unique area of the human body that is made up of bone, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, skin, and blood vessels. These elements must all be in good working order for the hand to function well.

The relationship between all these structures is delicate and refined. An injury or disease can affect any or all of these structures and impair the use of the hand.

Fellowship Trained Hand Surgeons have received specialized additional training in the treatment of hand problems beyond their board certified specialty training in orthopaedic surgery, plastic surgery, or general surgery.

Dr. Pedro Loredo at Hand Associates of North Dallas, received his hand surgery and microvascular fellowship training at the world renowned Christine M. Kleinert Institute which is associated with the University of Louisville.
