Philly hand doc?

Author: thomaswinds

Hi gang, long time no post. Tried this on Facebook, didn't really get an answer (except Dave, thanks!).

I have a lump no the back of my left hand, it is either a ganglion cyst or a carpal boss. I suspect it's the boss. And tendons are snapping. I need the name of an orthopedist who works on musicians. Bong Lee has retired, and my carpal surgeon moved to Boston. His brother does plastic surgery (and is very good) but if this is not a cyst, he can't do it.

Any referrals of people in the area who have worked on musicians would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Lynn

Lynn,

Other than for me, and another member of a community group I play with, I don't know that he has a lot of specific experience with musicians, but down in Delaware Dr. David Sowa of First State Orthopedics is as good as they get with hands.
