What Is Hand and Wrist Surgery?

A variety of treatments intended to treat disorders affecting the hand and wrist's structures are included in hand and wrist surgery. This could involve mending abnormalities, treating injuries, reducing pain, and regaining function in order to improve the general well-being and range of motion of the hand and wrist.

Why Is Hand and Wrist Surgery Necessary?

• Injury Treatment: Treatment for injuries such fractures, dislocations, and soft tissue injury from falls, accidents, or sports-related events requires hand and wrist surgery.
• Joint and Tendon Disorders: Surgery may be necessary to treat conditions like tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and arthritis in order to relieve discomfort, enhance joint function, and stop additional damage.
• Nerve Compression: To relieve compression on compressed nerves, treat conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, and restore function and sensation, surgery may be required.

Possible Risks:

Although they are uncommon, complications from hand and wrist surgery might include infection, hemorrhage, stiffness, nerve injury, and, in certain situations, the need for further surgeries. With the use of precise surgical methods and pre-operative examinations, these risks are effectively managed.

Treatment Steps in Hand and Wrist Surgery:

• Evaluation and Diagnosis: Thorough evaluation of the patient's symptoms, medical history, and diagnostic imaging to identify the underlying problem.
• Non-surgical Approaches: Investigating alternatives for treatment other than surgery, such as medicine or physical therapy, before opting for surgery.
• Surgical Planning: In the event that surgery is judged necessary, the patient and the surgeon work together to go over the operation, its risks, and anticipated results.
• Anesthesia Administration: Putting the patient under anesthesia to make sure they are pain-free and comfortable during the procedure.
• Incision and Access: Avoiding damage to surrounding tissues while making precise incisions to reach the hand or wrist afflicted area.
• Procedure Execution: Completing the required surgical procedures, such as treating joint issues, releasing squeezed nerves, mending tendons, and repairing fractures.
• Closure of Incisions: Closing incisions using sutures or other closure methods and applying dressings to promote healing.
• Post-operative Care: Putting in place a post-operative care plan that could involve physical therapy, immobilization, and follow-up visits to track healing.
