Hand Surgery

Hand surgery is a specialized field of surgery that focuses on treating conditions, injuries, and deformities of the hand, wrist, and forearm. This can involve repairing fractures, treating tendon or nerve damage, and correcting congenital or acquired hand deformities. The goal of hand surgery is to restore function, relieve pain, and improve quality of life.

Conditions Treated with Hand Surgery

Hand surgery can address various conditions, including :

  • Fractures : Broken bones in the fingers, hand, or wrist.
  • Tendon Injuries : Damage to tendons, including ruptures or lacerations.
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome : Compression of the median nerve, causing pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand.
  • Arthritis : Degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis affecting the joints in the hand and wrist.
  • Nerve Injuries : Damage to nerves causing loss of sensation or movement.
  • Congenital Deformities : Conditions like polydactyly (extra fingers) or syndactyly (webbed fingers).
  • Trigger Finger : A condition where a finger gets stuck in a bent position due to tendon inflammation.
  • Dupuytren’s Contracture : Thickening of the tissue in the palm that causes fingers to bend inward.
  • Wrist Injuries : Ligament tears or fractures in the wrist.
  • Tumors and Cysts : Benign growths affecting the hand and wrist.

Types of Hand Surgery

  1. Fracture Fixation : Uses pins, plates, or screws to stabilize fractured bones.
  2. Carpal Tunnel Release : Relieves pressure on the median nerve by cutting the ligament in the wrist.
  3. Tendon Repair : Surgical repair of torn or lacerated tendons to restore movement.
  4. Nerve Repair : Restoring function and sensation in the hand after nerve injury.
  5. Joint Replacement or Fusion : Used to treat severe arthritis by replacing or fusing joints in the fingers, wrist, or thumb.
  6. Soft Tissue Repair : Repair of ligaments, muscles, and skin.
  7. Hand Reconstruction : Surgical restoration of hand function after severe injury or deformity.
  8. Amputation and Replantation : In cases of traumatic amputation, a surgeon may attempt to reattach a severed limb.

Benefits of Hand Surgery

  • Pain Relief: Surgery can alleviate chronic pain caused by conditions like arthritis or nerve compression.
  • Restoration of Function: Improves hand movement and grip strength, enabling better daily function.
  • Improved Aesthetics: Corrects deformities and restores the hand’s natural appearance.
  • Enhanced Quality of Life: Restores independence and improves the ability to perform work, hobbies, and activities of daily living.

Recovery

  • Initial Healing : Recovery time varies depending on the surgery but generally ranges from a few weeks to several months.
  • Physical Therapy : Essential for regaining strength, mobility, and dexterity in the hand after surgery.
  • Follow-up Care : Regular check-ups with the surgeon to monitor healing and ensure proper function.

Hand Surgery

Hand surgery is a medical procedure designed to treat injuries, deformities, or conditions affecting the hand, wrist, and forearm. It involves repairing bones, tendons, nerves, ligaments, or correcting deformities to restore function and relieve pain.

Surgery is required when conservative treatments like physical therapy, splints, or medications fail to relieve symptoms or when there are significant injuries, deformities, or conditions like fractures, tendon ruptures, carpal tunnel syndrome, or arthritis.

Hand surgery can treat fractures, tendon injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, nerve damage, congenital deformities, trigger finger, Dupuytren’s contracture, and other wrist and hand injuries.

Recovery time varies based on the type of surgery performed but generally ranges from a few weeks to several months. Physical therapy may be required to regain full function and mobility.

In most cases, a splint or cast may be used to protect the hand or wrist during the initial healing phase. This is especially true for fractures or tendon repairs.
