About Hand Injury

Hand injury treatment in pediatric orthopedics involves specialized care for children's unique musculoskeletal needs. This encompasses diagnosis and management of fractures, dislocations, tendon/ligament injuries, nerve damage, and crush injuries affecting the hand and wrist. Pediatric orthopedic surgeons use child-specific techniques, including minimally invasive surgery, closed reduction, and internal fixation with small, specialized implants, to ensure proper healing and preserve growth plates. The goal is to restore full function, dexterity, and sensation while minimizing long-term complications, ensuring the child's hand develops normally for daily activities and future growth. Early, expert intervention is crucial for optimal outcomes in young, growing patients.

Key Highlights

Specialized care tailored to a child's growing bones and tissues.Focus on preserving growth plates (physes) to prevent future deformity.Use of minimally invasive techniques to reduce scarring and pain.Employment of child-sized implants and casts for better fit and comfort.Multidisciplinary approach involving occupational/physical therapists for rehabilitation.Goal of restoring full function for play, school, and daily activities./ul

Pain management with prescribed medications.
Follow-up appointments for wound checks, suture removal, and repeat X-rays.
Gradual initiation of guided occupational therapy for exercises to regain strength, flexibility, and fine motor skills.

PATIENT REVIEW

Our 8-year-old daughter fractured her elbow...

Our 8-year-old daughter fractured her elbow in a playground fall, and Dr. Prashanth Inna was absolutely phenomenal. He explained the complex procedure in simple terms, calmed our nerves, and the minimally invasive surgery went perfectly. His follow-up care was thorough, and she's now back to gymnastics without any issues!
