NASCAR STREET CLOSURES

Due to the NASCAR Chicago Street Race on July 5 - 6, and related events, there will be rolling street closures and traffic congestion June 19 - July 7.

Before your appointment, check the NASCAR website for the latest street closures. Bus routes may be affected. For current CTA and Metra schedules, visit TransitChicago and Metra. Navigation apps like Waze and Google Maps will reflect real-time closures

Please allow extra travel time. All hospital parking garages will remain open, though alternate routes may be needed.

The scaphoid is one of the eight small bones in the wrist that connect the two forearm bones to those of the hand and fingers. The scaphoid (also call the carpal navicular) is at the base of the thumb and closest to the top forearm bone, the radius.

It is most often broken during a fall when the landing point is on the base of the outstretched hand. Breaks can be of varying severity and thus cause varying amounts of swelling, pain, and tenderness.

After x-rays or other imaging, the physician will determine the type of treatment necessary, from splinting and casting to surgical placement of metal implants.
