Fracture or Injury to the Shoulder and Elbow
A fall, sports injury, or direct blow: a fracture, dislocation, or sprain of the upper limb must be evaluated promptly by a specialist. Here’s where to go depending on the time of day.
Monday–Friday, 8am – 12pm and 1pm – 5pm
Your CEPCO Center
Call our office: we’ll assess your situation and schedule a consultation with one of our shoulder and elbow surgeons, often on the same day if possible.
