   Dr. Rosen fully recognizes the crucial need for full use of the hands."The hand is a very intricate, well-functioning organ.People don't realize how essential their hands are to activities of daily living, until they injure them."
   
   Dr. Rosen fully recognizes the need for conservative treatment of musculoskeletal conditions when appropriate.Naturally, when presented with acute injuries, such as a fracture, lacerated tendon or nerve he makes recommendations regarding the most appropriate surgery for the injury."I try to explain the full course of a disease to my patients, and discuss their chances for success with conservative treatment which may include injections, splinting, therapy, or various medications.I prefer my patients to understand the pros and cons of conservative treatment prior to considering surgical options.I also know how important it is to make my patients part of the decision making process when considering surgery.Educating patients about their condition allows them to make educated decisions about their treatment."
   
   Dr. Rosen works closely with therapists specially trained in rehabilitation of the hand.According to Dr. Rosen, an experienced hand therapist is often essential to successful recovery following a complex surgical procedure.Therapists can also be instrumental in conservative treatment of overuse syndromes such as tennis elbow or crippling diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.
