A referral practice for the difficult wrist
The Institut du Poignet is based in Mulhouse, in eastern France, at the meeting point of France, Switzerland and Germany, with a second consulting site in Belfort. The practice concentrates on wrist conditions that resist conventional assessment: persistent pain despite normal imaging, sprains that fail to settle, ligament instability, and failed previous surgery.
Colleagues and patients from outside France are welcome. Consultations can be conducted in English, German, Arabic or Portuguese.
