Hand Surgery

While the first line of action for many hand injuries is medication, splinting, physiotherapy, or injections, in some severe cases, hand surgery is advised. It is unavoidable when the symptoms disturb your daily activities and affect your mobility. Some common conditions include:

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Numbness, tingling, and weakness caused by pressure on a nerve.
• Hand and Wrist Fractures: Complex or displaced fractures needing operative fixation.
• Dupuytren’s Contracture: Progressive curvature of the fingers due to fibrosis.
• Tendon Injuries: Due to trauma as well as conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis.
• Trigger Finger: Finger locking or catching due to tendon hypertrophy.
• Ganglion Cysts: These cysts are painful or limit movement around the wrist or hand.
• Trapeziectomy: For severe arthritis at the base of the thumb, a surgeon may remove the trapezium bone entirely.
• Nerve Injuries: Severe cuts or crush injuries may need microsurgery to reconnect them.

Early evaluation by a trained hand injury specialist in Navi Mumbai at UMC Hospitals helps improve outcomes and reduce long-term disability.

A broad range of clinical disorders, including traumatic, congenital, inflammatory, degenerative, and tumor-related illnesses, are covered by hand surgery. It can also include some really complex repair surgeries where bones, joints, tendons, nerves, and muscles are involved. Medical statistics suggest that around 10 to 30% of accidents and fall cases involve the wrist or hand, making surgical competence crucial. Consult the best hand surgeons in Navi Mumbai at UMC Hospitals for comprehensive hand surgery treatment as well as rehabilitation care.

Depending on the condition, hand surgery may include:

• Microsurgery: Reattachment of a finger, small vessel surgery, nerve surgery, and tissue transfer.
• Nerve Repair and Decompression: Indicated for carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, and complex nerve injuries.
• Tendon Reconstruction: Tendon repairs or transfers due to torn tendons resulting from sporting injuries or repetitive strains.
• Fracture Fixation: Precise alignment and stabilization of hand and wrist bones.
• Arthritis and Joint Procedures: Pain-relieving surgeries that preserve function and mobility.

Where appropriate, surgery is combined with conservative care and structured rehabilitation.
