a complication.

HANDCENTER’Smessage is seen in television andmagazine ads worldwide. BrownHandCenter
Since 1988, BROWNHANDCENTERhas been the destinationof choice for patients from around theworldwho expectworld-class comfort and care.
BROWNHANDCENTER is where‘e Brown Procedure was developed andwhere somany publishedmedical journal articles originated, answering
questions others couldonly ask. BROWNHANDCENTER is the leader in carpal tunnel treatment, aswell as all problems a˜ecting the hand andupper
extremity, such as arthritic joint problems, injuries and secondary reconstruction, replantationof amputatedparts, and congenital birthdeformities.When
possible, the approach is minimally invasive to reduce patient pain, su ering and recovery time. ‘eBrownEndoscopicTriggerRelease (BETR) is another of
themany innovations fromBrownHandCenter used to treat a commonproblem, trigger ’nger. Similar to‘eBrownProcedure,‘eBETRutilizes two
tiny skin openings to insert instrumentation (designed byMichael G. Brown,MD) to divide the A1 pulley, rather than cutting through normal tissue
layers.‘is “minimally invasive” approach at BROWNHANDCENTER has allowed countless thousands of patients to return to normal activity in a
relatively short period following anoutpatient procedure.Many have returnedhome, thousands ofmiles away toother countries, the following day.
