About Wrist Fracture Surgery
Wrist fracture surgery is a precise procedure used to treat broken bones in the wrist. It involves realigning and stabilizing the fractured bones to ensure proper healing. This can address fractures in the radius, ulna, and other wrist bones with accuracy and care.
Common Conditions Treated with Wrist Fracture Surgery:
Fractures of the radius, one of the two long bones in the forearm, can significantly impact wrist function and stability. Surgery can realign and stabilize the bones for optimal healing.
Fractures of the ulna, the other bone in the forearm, can also affect wrist movement. Surgical intervention can restore normal function and alignment.
These fractures occur near the wrist joint and can limit wrist and hand movement. Surgery can ensure proper alignment and recovery.
Multiple fractures or fractures involving the wrist joint may require surgery to restore full function and prevent long-term issues.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Wrist Fracture Surgery:
Chronic pain that does not improve with rest or conservative treatments like splinting or medication.
Ongoing swelling and stiffness in the wrist that limit your ability to move or use your hand.
Visible deformity or abnormal positioning of the wrist, indicating a misaligned fracture.
Difficulty gripping, holding, or performing everyday tasks due to the fracture.
Benefits of Wrist Fracture Surgery
Wrist fracture surgery offers several advantages, helping you regain wrist function and return to your activities. Here’s how it can benefit you:
By addressing the fracture, surgery can significantly reduce or eliminate wrist pain.
Post-surgery, you’ll likely experience better wrist movement and strength, enabling you to use your hand more effectively.
The procedure ensures that bones heal in the correct position, preventing future complications and deformities.
Some fractures can be treated with minimally invasive techniques, leading to faster recovery times and less scarring.
Wrist Fracture Surgery Procedure
Our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques to treat wrist fractures effectively. Here’s a simplified overview of the procedure:
You will receive regional or general anesthesia to ensure comfort during the surgery.
The surgeon will make a small incision to access the fractured bones.
The bones are realigned and fixed in place using pins, screws, or plates as needed.
The incision is closed with sutures or surgical tape, and the wrist is bandaged for protection.
Wrist Fracture Surgery Recovery
Mild discomfort or soreness post-surgery can be managed with prescribed pain medications.
Your wrist 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 wrist and hand.
Most patients can resume light activities within a few days. Gradual return to normal routines and wrist use will be guided by your surgeon.
