Displaced Bone In Wrist Treatment in India
About Displaced Bone In Wrist
Key Highlights
-
Restores precise anatomical alignment of wrist bones.Prevents long-term complications like post-traumatic arthritis and chronic instability.Promotes optimal bone healing and reduces the risk of non-union (bone not healing).Allows for earlier mobilization and rehabilitation compared to non-surgical casting alone.Helps regain full strength, range of motion, and function of the wrist and hand.
Who is this surgery for?
- Unstable wrist fractures where bone ends are significantly misaligned (displaced).
- Open fractures where the bone has broken through the skin.
- Intra-articular fractures (extending into the wrist joint surface).
- Failed closed reduction (bones cannot be held in place with a cast).
- Fractures with associated nerve or blood vessel injury (neurovascular compromise).
- Comminuted fractures (bone shattered into multiple pieces).
How to prepare
- Complete medical history review and physical examination by the orthopedic surgeon.
- Diagnostic imaging: X-rays are essential; a CT scan may be ordered for detailed fracture assessment.
- Pre-operative blood tests and possibly an ECG to ensure fitness for anesthesia.
- Discussion of anesthesia options (general, regional block) with the anesthesiologist.
- Informing the surgeon of all medications, supplements, and allergies; may need to stop blood thinners.
- Fasting for 6-8 hours before surgery if general anesthesia is planned.
- Arranging for post-operative assistance and transportation home.
Risks & possible complications
- Infection at the surgical site or in the bone (osteomyelitis).
- Bleeding, bruising, or hematoma formation.
- Damage to surrounding nerves, blood vessels, or tendons.
- Stiffness, reduced range of motion, or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
- Hardware irritation, failure, or the need for future removal.
- Non-union (bone fails to heal) or malunion (bone heals in a poor position).
- Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) and risks associated with anesthesia.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial period involves wearing a splint or cast to protect the surgical repair.
- Elevation of the hand above heart level is crucial for the first few days to reduce swelling.
- Pain is managed with prescribed medications; ice packs help with swelling and discomfort.
- Keeping the surgical dressing clean and dry; watching for signs of infection (redness, fever, pus).
- Early, gentle finger movement exercises are encouraged to prevent stiffness.
- Formal physical therapy typically begins after the initial healing phase (2-6 weeks) to restore strength and mobility.
- Gradual return to normal activities and sports as guided by the surgeon, often over several months.
- Follow-up X-rays are scheduled to monitor bone healing progress.

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....
Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
