Dr. Alan Rosen is one of Houston's leading hand and upper extremity specialists working to provide less invasive, more advanced treatment options to patients suffering from many of the most common orthopedic conditions affecting the young and elderly in today's active society.
From joint reconstruction and arthroscopy to endoscopic cubital and carpal tunnel releases and the repair of fractures and dislocations, Dr. Rosen understands the importance of the right treatment plan to ensure superior long-term results and quality of life for his patients.
Dr. Rosen is on the executive board of the KSF Orthopaedic Center P.A. and is also the Chairman of Governing Board for TOPS Surgical Specialty Hospital.

He is among the first hand surgeons in Northwest Houston to offer less invasive endoscopic and arthroscopic procedures, now routinely performing mini open carpal tunnel repair and revision carpal tunnel surgery as well.
