Wrist & Hand

Wrist and hand surgery refers to surgical procedures that are performed to treat injuries, conditions, or deformities of the wrist, hand, or fingers. These procedures may be performed for a variety of reasons, including to relieve pain, improve function, restore mobility, or correct deformities.

Common wrist and hand surgeries include:

1. Carpal tunnel release: This surgery is performed to relieve pressure on the median nerve in the wrist that causes carpal tunnel syndrome.
2. Tendon repair: This surgery is used to repair or reattach a tendon that has been torn or ruptured due to injury or degeneration.
3. Fracture repair: This surgery is used to repair broken bones in the wrist or hand.
4. Trigger finger release: This surgery is performed to relieve a condition where a finger becomes stuck in a bent position.
5. Joint replacement: This surgery is used to replace a damaged or arthritic joint in the wrist or hand.

The goal of wrist and hand surgery is to relieve pain, restore function, and improve mobility and quality of life. Recovery time and rehabilitation can vary depending on the specific surgery and the individual’s overall health and condition.
