Personalized Treatment Options
Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis can restrict mobility in your hands, wrists, and arms and keep you from many activities.
At Orthopaedic Specialists of Austin, our orthopedic surgeons can help you find lasting relief.
Whether you suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome, broken bones, arthritis, or trigger finger, we have a procedure for you. Our treatment options range from minimally invasive, non-surgical therapies to surgical intervention. If your musculoskeletal issue lies in another part of the body, we can direct you to a corresponding specialist on our team.
At Orthopaedic Specialists of Austin, we have a team of board-certified specialists who can treat a wide range of conditions. Our specialists use the most advanced techniques to provide minimally invasive treatment options.
Our orthopedic specialists treat simple and complex disorders of the upper extremities. In addition to preventive measures, medication, and therapy, the doctor rounds out our services by providing a range of treatments and hand, wrist, and elbow surgery for Austin patients, including:
Endoscopic carpal tunnel release
Congenital and pediatric hand surgery
Complex reconstruction and joint replacement
Rheumatic disease of the hand and wrist, such as rheumatoid arthritis
If the bursa is inflamed from trauma, prolonged pressure, or infection, the skin may not be able to move freely over the underlying elbow bone. Surgery is needed when medication proves ineffective.
Forearm Fractures in Children
A broken forearm is extremely painful, and yields the appearance of a bent arm. Fortunately, a child's bones heal quickly with the help of prompt medical treatment, such as a cast, splint, or alignment surgery.
Ganglion Cysts
This is the most common mass found on the hand or wrist. These are fluid-filled sacs that arise from irritated tendon sheaths or joint linings. They commonly will resolve on their own or wax and wane in size, so surgery is rarely required.
Radial Head Fractures
This refers to a break in the small bone, or radius, located in the forearm. Depending on the degree or type of fracture, surgery may be needed.
Wrist Arthritis
Wrist Arthritis
The two main types of wrist arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. This condition involves swelling and limited strength and motion, making it difficult to perform many tasks. If medicine is ineffective, surgery may be required.
Ulnar Nerve Entrapment
The ulnar nerve, one of three main nerves in the arm, may become compressed. It is usually called the funny bone; entrapment usually occurs behind the elbow. Anti-inflammatory medicine or steroid injections are recommended, but surgery is sometimes needed.

He quickly got me back on the dance floor after surgery, and discovered a bulging disc and then referred me to Dr Moghimi, who was able to address the issue non surgically. The doctors and staff provide the best quality care and results with minimally invasive surgery. I highly recommend Orthopedic Specialists of Austin.

And Dr. Ebert is an expert in the field. He was not pushy at all with surgery and explained the options I had prior to getting the surgery... I’ve been extremely happy with their care and knowledge. I come from a family of docs myself so I’m pretty picky and a high maintenance patient :) so trust me when I say Dr. Ebert and his specific team are great.
Patient
Dr. Ebert and his staff are caring and compassionate. His staff is available if needed between appointments. The office staff is efficient and I've never waited more than 15 minutes for my appointments.

Excellent doctors and staff. Very responsive and knowledgeable from intro appointments throughout my experiences.

I have a family history of back issues so unfortunately I’m a frequent flyer.
