Dr. Master Suspends the Thumb for Relief
January 18, 2013
Dr. Master utilizes a special technique to treat patients with thumb arthritis. After removing all areas of arthritis at the base of the thumb, he then suspends the thumb from the index (pointer) finger with a special implant. This technique allows patients to start moving their thumb four weeks earlier than normal.
World Class Care
Dr. Master is fellowship trained in hand, wrist, and upper limb surgery. He completed his Orthopaedic Surgery training at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland, OH. Following this, he was awarded a Hand and Upper Limb Fellowship position at the prestigious Stanford University Medical Center in Palo Alto, CA. Dr. Master then joined Boulder Centre for Orthopedics, P.C. to provide comprehensive hand and upper extremity care to the Boulder community.
Dr. Master treats patients with hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder conditions with the following cutting edge techniques:
-
Endoscopic carpal tunnel release

Cutting Edge Techniques for Your Hands
Wrist Arthroscopy
Wrist pain can be caused by a wide variety of problems. Diagnosis often requires physical examination as well as X-rays and, in some cases, advanced imaging modalities such as MRI. However, none of these diagnostic techniques are 100% accurate all of the time. As such, the cause of a patient’s wrist pain may not always be perfectly clear. Dr. Master has gained extensive clinical experience with wrist arthroscopy (looking inside the wrist joint with a small camera). The benefit of this technique is that it allows for direct visualization of many structures inside the wrist without making large incisions. Wrist arthroscopy can often shed light on a diagnosis which has remained unclear. In addition, this technique can also allow for treatment of the identified problem with a minimally invasive approach (i.e. without "open" surgery).
Our Mission
We develop treatment plans that are tailored to meet the needs of each individual patient. We rely on the latest evidence-based medical studies to treat each patient with the least invasive methods possible. Most importantly, we treat each patient as a family member.
