Hand and Wrist Injuries & Disorders

Hand and Wrist Injuries & Disorders

Our Orthopedic Department offers expert care for a wide range of hand and wrist injuries and disorders, providing personalized treatment plans to restore function and alleviate pain. We specialize in conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, fractures, ligament tears, arthritis, and tendonitis.

Our multidisciplinary team uses advanced diagnostic tools and innovative treatment methods to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective management. We aim to reduce pain, restore mobility, and enhance the overall quality of life for our patients.

For mild to moderate conditions, we offer non-surgical treatments, including physical therapy, bracing, splinting, and corticosteroid injections. These conservative approaches help reduce inflammation, improve joint function, and prevent further damage.

For severe or chronic hand and wrist conditions, we provide advanced surgical interventions, including carpal tunnel release, tendon repair, and wrist arthroscopy. Our surgeons specialize in minimally invasive techniques that promote faster recovery and reduce post-operative discomfort.

Post-surgical rehabilitation programs focus on restoring strength, flexibility, and fine motor skills. Our physiotherapists design personalized therapy regimens to help patients regain full function and prevent recurrence.

We prioritize comprehensive pain management strategies, including oral medications, localized steroid injections, and nerve blocks, to ensure patient comfort throughout the recovery process.

Our orthopedic specialists focus on preventing future injuries by providing ergonomic recommendations and lifestyle modifications tailored to each patient’s needs.

For patients with chronic conditions such as arthritis, we offer long-term management plans, including joint preservation strategies, regular monitoring, and therapeutic interventions.

Our patient-centered approach ensures that each individual receives customized care, with a focus on minimizing downtime and promoting long-term joint health.

We are dedicated to helping patients regain hand and wrist functionality, reduce discomfort, and return to their daily activities with confidence and ease.

Diagnostic Tests

X-ray

Used to identify fractures, bone deformities, and arthritis in the hand and wrist.

MRI

Provides detailed images of soft tissues, helping detect ligament tears, tendon injuries, and nerve compression.

Electromyography (EMG)

Measures nerve function to diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and nerve entrapment.

Ultrasound

Used to visualize soft tissue structures and assess inflammation or fluid accumulation.

Nerve Conduction Study (NCS)

Evaluates the electrical conduction of nerves to diagnose neuropathic conditions.

Precautions and Care Tips

• Avoid repetitive hand and wrist movements to prevent overuse injuries and inflammation.
• Use ergonomic keyboards, mouse pads, and wrist supports to reduce strain during daily activities.
• Apply ice packs or cold compresses to reduce swelling and alleviate pain after an injury.
• Perform regular stretching and strengthening exercises to maintain hand and wrist flexibility and strength.
• Wear protective braces or splints during physical activities to support the wrist and prevent re-injury.
• Follow physical therapy routines and rehabilitation exercises prescribed by your doctor.
• Use proper lifting techniques and avoid carrying heavy objects that strain the wrist.
• Take regular breaks when performing repetitive tasks, such as typing or using hand tools.
• Maintain a healthy weight to reduce pressure on the joints and minimize the risk of arthritis.
• Attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and prevent complications.

• Accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans for various hand and wrist conditions.
• Faster recovery with minimally invasive surgical techniques.
• Enhanced hand and wrist mobility through targeted rehabilitation programs.
• Comprehensive pain management strategies for improved patient comfort.
• Reduced risk of recurrence with preventive care and ergonomic guidance.
• Improved quality of life through effective long-term management and follow-up care.
