Ask a Hand Surgeon
Need a second-opinion on a challenging hand, wrist or elbow case?
OrthoNebraska’s Ask a Hand Surgeon service allows you to upload a brief overview of the case and any relevant images for our surgeons to review. We will follow up with our expertise and any advice for next steps.
How It Works
- You have a patient with a hand problem that you’ve performed and exam and maybe X-ray on, but aren’t positive on the next best step for them.
- Step out of the room, call us at (402) 609-3200 and tell us what’s happening with your patient.
- Upload a photo securely, if you like, for us to review.
- Manage the patient’s treatment plan or refer as you see fit, taking into account our recommendations. You and the patient now have an extra sense of confidence in your plan.
