Eastern Idaho Hand Center-medical and surgical treatment for problems involving the Hand, Wrist & Elbow in Pocatello, Idaho

Idaho Orthopaedic & Sports Clinic

Clinic Beginnings

The seed for development of a sports medicine facility on the Idaho State University campus was planted in November of 1991 when Dr. Mick Mickelson, a local orthopedic surgeon, and Randy Hoffman, athletic director for ISU, approached Earl Christison, administrator at Pocatello Regional Medical Center, to propose the concept. Such a cooperative effort between the hospital, ISU, orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists made good sense for the community at large as well as for ISU. The idea quickly progressed into a formal agreement which was announced to the community in February of 1992.

Hand & Wrist

The human hand is an intricate instrument that is both tough and delicate. Its functions of sensations and motion allow us to experience and control the world around us.
One in three industrial or home accidents involves injury to the hand. The restoration of hand function after injury or disease is a gratifying experience for the hand surgeon.
Many routine hand conditions are treated in our practice. The following links provide a brief description of some of them. There are numerous other conditions that relate to the injury, disease and deformity of the wrist and hand. 

Eastern Idaho Hand Center Surgeons are skilled in all aspects of Orthopaedic Hand Surgery. Their orthopaedic services include:

Trigger Finger

The tendons of the thumb and each of the fingers pass through a sheath on the palm side of the hand. Certain diseases and overuse activities can cause a thickening of this sheath. As the tendon passes through a thickened sheath, the tendon eventually becomes irritated and swells. Pain, catching and eventually locking of the finger will occur. Early treatment consists of anti-inflammatory medication or Cortisone injection. If these fail to provide relief, the sheath is opened surgically through a small incision at the base of the finger.

Dupuytren's Contracture

This disorder is a thickening of a ligament in the palm, resulting in nodules on the ligament which, if severe enough, can cause an inability to fully straighten the fingers. The ring and small fingers are the fingers most commonly involved.The cause of this disorder is unknown. It is seen more commonly in men and is usually found in individuals of northern European extraction.If deformity is mild and there is no functional loss, no surgery is needed. If, however, there is significant contracture that interferes with full use of the hand, surgical removal of a portion of the ligament is the treatment of choice to improve function and to prevent further deformity.

De Quervain's Tenosynovitis

Tendonitis on the thumb side of the wrist can be a very painful and disabling condition. Simple pinching and twisting activities can be almost impossible. The tendons to the thumb become inflamed as they pass under a ligament and the slightest motion of the wrist can cause pain.
Treatment consists of rest, medication and occasionally the use of a steroid injection. If these treatments do not provide relief over time, the tendons can be surgically released.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common hand problem resulting from pressure on the median nerve at the wrist. Symptoms, which are often worse at night, consist of numbness and/or pain in the wrist and fingers. Eventually there is loss of strength, fine motor control and sensation.
Early treatment consists of splinting and anti-inflammatory medication. If symptoms do not improve, an outpatient surgical procedure to relieve the pressure on the nerve is suggested.

Microvascular Surgery

Microsurgery or Microvascular Surgery is a general term for surgery requiring an operating microscope. The most obvious developments have been procedures developed to allow anastomosis of successively smaller blood vessels and nerves (typically 1 mm in diameter) which have allowed transfer of tissue from one part of the body to another and re-attachment of severed parts. Although microsurgery is used mostly in plastic surgery, microsurgical techniques are utilized by all specialties today.

Replantation

Replantation is the reattachment of a completely detached body part. Fingers and thumbs are the most common ares to be replanted. Generally replantation involves restoring blood flow through arteries and veins, restoring the bony skeleton and connecting tendons and nerves as required.

Dr. Tom Smith, Hip and Knee Surgeon-Westchester, IL

Philosophy

Dr. Smith believes that communication among the patient, staff and physician is one of the most important aspects of his work. "It's important to listen to the patient and to explain what will happen before, during and after surgery so the patient and their family has faith in the implant and the surgeon," he says. "Joint replacement surgery can drastically improve a patient's overall well being and keep them active. But a successful outcome is more than just replacing a hip or knee. It's about teamwork among the patient, physician, staff and hospital."

Biography

Dr. Smith is a fellowship-trained, board-eligible orthopaedic surgeon with extensive training in joint replacement. He received his bachelor's degree in Biology from Ohio University, where he graduated cum laude and participated in varsity athletics. He then attended medical school at Ohio University and completed his Orthopedic Surgery Residency at Michigan State University/Ingham Regional Medical Center. Dr. Smith pursued two Fellowships in Reconstruction of the Hip and Knee: one with Dr. Thomas H. Mallory, M.D. and Dr. Adolph Lombardi, M.D. at Joint Implant Surgeons in Columbus, Ohio and the other at the prestigious Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

Dr.Tom Smith

He has authored and co-authored numerous research articles published in peer-reviewed medical journals, in addition to presenting his work at various medical conferences. His many professional memberships include American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, The American Osteopathic Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, American Medical Association, American Osteopathic Association, Illinois Osteopathic Medical Society,Mayo Clinic Alumni Association, and Mayo Clinic Orthopedic Alumni Association.

Dr. Forsythe is a board certified orthopedic surgeon, specializing in minimally invasive techniques in sports medicine, arthroscopicshoulder, knee and elbow surgery, as well as shoulder replacement surgery. His patient care philosophy centers on communication and accessibility. He believes that patients come first in the patient-doctor relationship, and that clinical problem solving begins with careful listening, observation, and examination. Ultimately, the goal is to return patients and athletes to the highest levels of activity and competition through specialized treatments or surgery.

His practice includes arthroscopic shoulder instability, rotator cuff repair, and shoulder replacement surgery. He also focuses on knee ligament reconstruction (ACL/PCL), patellofemoral realignment, resurfacing and cartilage repair. Dr. Forsythe also performs ankleand elbow arthroscopy, as well as proximal hamstring tendon repairs.

Dr.Forsythe

He then completed subspecialty training in Shoulder and Sports Medicine Surgery at the world-renowned University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Center for Sports Medicine. Dr. Forsythe has since been actively involved in education and surgical training of surgical residents, fellows, and practicing orthopedic surgeons.

Dr. Forsythe is currently a team physician for U.S. Soccer which involves international competitions. His former team coverage includes the Pittsburgh Steelers (NFL) Chicago Bears training camp, Pittsburgh Penguins (NHL) and the New England Revolution Soccer (MLS). He has also served as team physician for numerous high schools and universities.

In addition to his clinical interests, Dr. Forsythe is actively involved with numerous research activities. He is an Assistant Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Rush and he has authored dozens of scientific publications, book chapters, and abstracts. Furthermore, his work has been presented at national meetings and his manuscripts have been published in the most highly regarded orthopedic journals. He serves as a reviewer for the American Journal of Sports Medicine and the orthopedic journal, Arthroscopy.

Dr. Forsythe’s athletic interests have helped define his career goals. He played Division 1 soccer at Brown University and he still enjoys playing, when not spending time with his wife and growing family.
