About Hand Surgery for Arthritis
Hand surgery for arthritis is a specialized procedure designed to diagnose and treat various conditions affecting the hand and wrist. It involves techniques to address issues such as joint damage, tendon problems, and inflammation with precision.
Common Conditions Treated with Hand Surgery for Arthritis Include:
Arthritis can cause significant joint damage, leading to pain and limited movement. Surgery can repair or replace damaged joints.
Inflamed or damaged tendons can restrict hand function. Surgical intervention can restore tendon health.
Bone spurs can develop in arthritic joints, causing pain and restricting motion. Removal of these spurs can improve function.
Inflammation of the synovial membrane can be treated by removing the inflamed tissue through surgery.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Hand Surgery Can Include:
Chronic pain that does not respond to conservative treatments like rest, physical therapy, or medications.
Recurrent swelling and stiffness in the hand or wrist that limits your range of motion.
Difficulty performing daily tasks due to decreased hand function.
Visible changes in hand shape or structure due to arthritis progression.
Benefits of Hand Surgery for Arthritis
Hand surgery offers numerous advantages, helping you return to an active lifestyle. Here’s how it can benefit you:
The primary benefit is pain relief. By addressing the underlying issue, hand surgery can significantly reduce or eliminate hand pain.
Post-surgery, you’ll likely experience improved hand function and a greater range of motion, enabling you to move more freely.
The procedure can restore normal joint mechanics, allowing you to engage in daily activities without limitations.
Many hand surgeries involve smaller incisions, leading to faster recovery times and less scarring.
Hand Surgery Procedure:
Our experienced surgeons employ advanced techniques to treat hand problems effectively. Here’s a simplified breakdown of the procedure:
You will receive regional or general anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable during the procedure.
The surgeon will make small incisions to access the affected area.
Advanced imaging and surgical tools guide the surgeon in diagnosing and treating the hand issue.
After addressing the problem, the surgeon will close the incisions with sutures or surgical tape.
Hand Surgery Recovery
Recovery from hand surgery is generally swift and straightforward. Our team will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Here’s what you can expect:
Mild discomfort or soreness post-surgery can be managed with prescribed pain medications.
Your hand will be bandaged to protect the surgical site. Keeping the area dry and clean is essential.
Rehabilitation exercises may be recommended to restore strength and flexibility to the hand and wrist.
Most patients can resume light activities within a few days. Gradual return to normal routines and exercise will be guided by your surgeon.
