Dr. In Sok Yi MD's Expert Contributions
Fractured forearm issues?
I am sorry to hear about your accident. It would be unusual for an orthopedic surgeon to cut all your tendons in fixing a forearm fracture. However, many of the flexor muscles in the forearm needs to be peeled off the bone to place a plate in the fractured bone. Sometimes during the healing process and also injury to the muscle caused by the force of the accident, the muscle can be damage. Without an evaluation, it is difficult for me to advise you if this function can return back to normal, but many times the function may be improved with therapy or further surgery. Sorry for the vague response, but again, it is difficult to assess the issue without an exam. In Sok Yi, MD READ MORE

Dr Yi did a great job with my ulnar nerve repositioning surgery, which corrected my hand numbness and pain after an injury. He did an excellent job diagnosing and correcting the problem that my prior surgeon had said I would need to live with. He is very personable and explained what to expect, and I'd highly recommend him.
Great

With a strong background in academic medicine, Dr. Yi earned his medical degree with distinction from the University of Virginia School of Medicine, completing his internship and residencies through the same system. He then moved into a prestigious hand and upper extremity fellowship at the University of New Mexico and its affiliated hospitals. He stayed at the University of New Mexico as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery – Division of Hand Surgery from 1998 to 2000, eventually moving to Denver to join Hand Surgery Associates in 2000.

He is also recognized as one of the original pioneers of the minimally invasive endoscopic carpal tunnel repair technique.
