The hand and wrist work together to give us strength, movement, and control. The wrist connects the arm to the hand, while the hand’s small bones and muscles help us grip, hold, and do everyday tasks with ease.

Under overuse conditions, our hand and wrist are prone to injuries such as:

• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• DeQuervains tenosynovitis
• Trigger finger
• Trigger thumb
• Ganglion cyst
• Fractures and dislocations
  

Common hand and wrist surgeries are:

• Carpal tunnel decompression
  
  • Relieves pressure on the median nerve.

• Trigger finger release
  
  • Freesa tight tendon so the finger can move smoothly.

• De Quervain’s release
  
  • Reduces tendon irritation on the thumb side of the wrist.

• Ganglion cyst removal
  
  • Removes cysts that cause pain or limit movement.

• Fracture fixation
  
  • Using plates, screws, or pins to stabilise broken hand or wrist bones.

• Wrist fusion
  
  • Permanently joins the wrist bones together to reduce pain and improve stability, usually for severe arthritis or major wrist damage.

• Scaphoid fixation
  
  • stabilisea broken scaphoid bone to help the bone heal properly
