The Minnesota Governor mandated that elective surgeries may not be performed until after the Covid-19 outbreak in order to preserve medical supplies for treatments of coronavirus patients.  The following conditions may, however, meet the criteria for urgent surgery and may be allowable at this time:

Broken Bones

Lacerations to tendon, muscle, or joints

Fingertip crush injuries

Suspected biceps tendon tears

​Infections

Shoulder dislocations/separations

​Ligament tears to the hand/wrist resulting in instability

You may still contact Dr. Karlstad's assistant to schedule elective surgery after the coronavirus outbreak has been contained.

If you have any questions about surgery, please feel free to contact Dr. Karlstad's assistant at:
