Your hands and wrists are essential parts of your body, involved in almost everything you do typing, cooking, driving, lifting, or simply holding a pen. Due to their constant use, they are more prone to injuries, repetitive strain, and wear and tear over time.
At MGM Medical Centre, our orthopedic specialists provide advanced care for all types of hand and wrist conditions. Whether it’s a sudden injury, chronic pain, or an age-related condition, we offer personalized treatment plans to help you regain comfort, mobility, and function.
What Is Hand and Wrist Orthopedics?
Hand and wrist orthopedics is a dedicated field within orthopedic medicine that deals with conditions affecting the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves of the hand and wrist.
Given the complexity and fine structure of the hand and wrist, even a small problem can cause pain or limit your ability to perform everyday activities. That’s why early diagnosis and specialized treatment are so important.
At MGM Medical Centre, our experienced team offers comprehensive solutions using the latest technology and minimally invasive techniques.
Common Conditions We Treat
Our hand and wrist orthopedic unit manages a wide range of problems. Here are some of the most frequently treated conditions:
1. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
This condition occurs when the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, leading to numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hand and fingers.
Treatment Options: Wrist braces, medications, steroid injections, and in severe cases, carpal tunnel release surgery.
2. Hand and Wrist Arthritis
Arthritis can affect various joints in the hands and wrists, causing pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced motion.
Treatment Options: Anti-inflammatory medications, hand therapy, splints, and joint reconstruction surgery if conservative methods fail.
3. Wrist Fractures and Dislocations
Falls, accidents, and sports injuries can lead to broken bones or dislocated joints, requiring prompt and accurate treatment.
Treatment Options: Casting or splinting, realignment procedures, and surgical fixation using plates or screws if needed.
4. Trigger Finger
This occurs when a finger gets stuck in a bent position and may snap when straightened. It’s caused by tendon inflammation.
Treatment Options: Medications, splinting, and a quick outpatient procedure to release the affected tendon.
5. Tendon Injuries
Tendons can become inflamed due to overuse or trauma. Common examples include De Quervain’s tenosynovitis or flexor tendon injuries.
Treatment Options: Rest, physiotherapy, medications, and surgical tendon repair in serious cases.
6. Ganglion Cysts
These fluid-filled lumps appear near joints or tendons in the wrist or hand. While often harmless, they may cause pain or limit motion.
Treatment Options: Aspiration or surgical removal if the cyst persists or interferes with movement.
