Since 1982, The Roderique Centre for Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery has specialized in treatment of Workers' Compensation injuries to the hand and upper extremity. Approximately 90 percent of the patients treated at The Roderique Centre have sustained work-related injuries. The majority of patients are from the greater metro-Atlanta area, but many come from outlying areas throughout Georgia.

The primary goal of The Roderique Centre is to provide the highest quality care of the hand and upper extremity. To accomplish this, not only are there spacious well-equipped treatment rooms, but there is also an efficient hand therapy center as well as a technically advanced surgical suite designed specifically for surgery of the hand and upper extremity. Whether the problem is a simple laceration or a more severe injury involving lacerated tendons and nerves, fractures or dislocations of the hand, forearm, or shoulder, The Roderique Centre renders quality care aimed at restoring the extremity to its pre-injury level of function as quickly as possible.

Dr. Jim W. Roderique is a Board Certified Orthopaedic Surgeon with Added Qualifications in Surgery of the Hand. He is very experienced with Workers' Compensation issues such as early return to work, lost time, and permanent impairment ratings. In legal circles, Dr. Roderique is well-known for his forthright, honest, and unwavering testimony when deposed.

Dr. Roderique and his surgical staff are on call 24 hours a day to treat any emergency that may arise. When injured employees visit The Roderique Centre, they are evaluated by a hand surgeon who remains the primary care provider throughout the entire course of treatment. This assures a correct diagnosis and proper treatment from the onset, continuity of care, rapid recovery, optimal outcomes, early return to work, and cost-containment.
