Hand and Wrist Surgery

The hand and wrist are intricate structures composed of bones, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and joints that work together to perform delicate and powerful movements. Injuries or conditions affecting this area can significantly impact your ability to work, write, lift, or perform daily tasks. At the clinic of Dr. Yogish Vijaya Kumar, a skilled orthopaedic and upper limb specialist, patients receive expert care for a wide range of hand and wrist conditions — from trauma to chronic disorders — using both non-surgical and advanced surgical techniques.

Common Hand and Wrist Conditions Treated

Dr. Yogish specializes in the diagnosis and surgical management of:

• Fractures and dislocations of the fingers, hand, and wrist

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (nerve compression in the wrist)

• De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis (tendon inflammation at the thumb)

• Trigger Finger (locking of the finger due to tendon sheath inflammation)

• Tendon and ligament injuries

• Wrist instability and ganglion cysts

• Arthritis of the hand and wrist joints

• Sports injuries and repetitive strain conditions

When Is Surgery Needed?

While many hand and wrist issues respond to conservative treatments like splinting, medication, and physiotherapy, surgery may be necessary when:

• There is a fracture that is displaced or unstable

• Nerve compression causes persistent numbness or weakness

• Conservative treatment fails to relieve pain or improve function

• Tendons or ligaments are torn or ruptured

• A cyst or deformity limits motion or causes discomfort

Surgical Procedures Offered

Dr. Yogish offers a wide range of minimally invasive and open surgical procedures, including:

• Carpal tunnel release

• Tendon repair or transfer

• Wrist arthroscopy

• Fracture fixation using plates, screws, or pins

• Trigger finger release

• Joint reconstruction or fusion for arthritis
  These procedures are performed using the latest techniques to ensure precision, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring.

Post-Surgery Recovery

Recovery depends on the condition and type of surgery. Most patients undergo:

• Temporary splinting or bracing

• Tailored physiotherapy for restoring motion and strength

• Gradual return to normal activities in 2–8 weeks
