#HandSpecialists #WristSpecialists #ElbowSpecialists Competitive pool player Vereleen Zeek was living with severe arthritis in her hand, making it difficult to enjoy the game she loves. She described the pain as feeling like “someone was sticking an ice pick in her wrist.” Dr. John Fernandez of the Hand, Wrist & Elbow Institute at Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush performed a suspensionplasty on her hand. Just one week later, Vereleen returned to competitive play—where she came back with a win!
