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.

Another doc in Austin had destroyed my hip and his last words were to me " you need a replacement but your too young even though you are still in pain". I was 27 and barely able to walk into work and my quality of life was not good. Dr. Heinrich listened and had more imaging done and was able to determine that I needed a replacement Over a year and half later I am doing amazing and love this practice enough to refer my husband who hurt his leg and knee. Dr. Catlett is great and getting you in asap and addressing concerns and making sure that you are taken care of! I would not go anywhere else for my ortho needs.

I was in a rollover in 2020 and had shoulder pain and limited ROM, and after we tried conservative management, Dr. Seade went in and took care of the problem surgically. I have been recovering well so far and I can’t thank Dr. Seade and his team enough for their care over the last year. My career requires me to have use of my shoulders and I didn’t know what I was going to do if the pain or ROM never got better. Thank you, Dr. Seade and co. Thank you x like 1,000.
Patient
Really helpful, and knowledgeable. Dr came up with the right solution for me. I’m glad to have him as my foot specialist. Office staff and nurse both courteous and open.
Patient
Everyone is so nice and helpful via phone or in person. Dr Catlett is amazing and answers ALL of your questions and did a great job with my knee revision! I highly recommend this practice.
