About Wrist Reconstruction

Wrist reconstruction is a specialized surgical procedure performed by aesthetic and reconstructive surgeons to restore the form, function, and stability of the wrist joint. It addresses complex injuries, degenerative conditions, and congenital deformities that impair hand function and cause chronic pain. The procedure often involves a combination of techniques such as ligament repair, tendon transfers, bone grafting, and joint fusion or replacement, tailored to the patient's specific needs. The goal is not only to alleviate pain and improve mechanical function but also to achieve an aesthetically pleasing and natural-looking result, enhancing the patient's overall quality of life and hand dexterity.

Key Highlights

Who is this surgery for?

Complex wrist fractures that have not healed properly (malunion/nonunion).
Severe osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis causing joint destruction.
Chronic ligament tears (e.g., scapholunate ligament) leading to instability.
Post-traumatic deformities or wrist collapse (e.g., scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse - SNAC).
Congenital wrist abnormalities affecting function and appearance.
Failed previous wrist surgeries requiring revision.
Chronic, debilitating wrist pain unresponsive to conservative treatments.

How to prepare

Comprehensive evaluation including physical exam, X-rays, and often a CT or MRI scan.
Review of medical history and current medications; adjustment of blood thinners may be required.
Pre-operative counseling to discuss surgical goals, risks, and expected outcomes.
Pre-surgical tests such as blood work and ECG to ensure fitness for anesthesia.
Arranging for post-operative assistance at home for daily activities.
Fasting as instructed by the surgical team prior to the procedure.

Risks & possible complications

Infection at the surgical site.
Bleeding, hematoma, or nerve damage leading to numbness or weakness.

Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis).
Allergic reaction to anesthesia or implant materials.
Need for additional surgery in case of complications or unsatisfactory results.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial immobilization in a splint or cast for several weeks to protect the reconstruction.
Strict elevation of the hand to minimize swelling and pain in the first few days.
Pain management with prescribed medications.
Gradual initiation of supervised hand therapy and occupational therapy is crucial for regaining strength and mobility.
Follow-up appointments to monitor healing, remove sutures, and adjust the rehabilitation plan.
Avoidance of heavy lifting and strenuous activity with the hand for several months as guided by the surgeon.
Full recovery and return to all activities may take 6 months to a year, depending on the procedure's complexity.

Typical hospital stay: 1-3 days
Expected recovery time: 12-16 weeks for initial recovery; 6-12 months for full functional recovery

PATIENT REVIEW

Anika Smith, a 42-year-old graphic designer...

Anika Smith, a 42-year-old graphic designer and mother of two, had her dominant right wrist shattered in a cycling accident five years ago. Initial emergency surgery stabilized the fracture with plates and screws, but severe post-traumatic arthritis developed. For years, she lived with constant, grinding pain, stiffness that made holding a pencil or a coffee mug agonizing, and a visibly deformed, swollen wrist. She felt she had lost a core part of her identity, her ability to create art and care for her family with ease. Her orthopedic surgeon recommended a total wrist fusion for pain relief, but Anika couldn't accept the complete loss of motion. She sought a second opinion from a reconstructive surgeon who specialized in joint preservation. The surgeon proposed a complex wrist reconstruction: removing the arthritic bones, using a graft from her hip to rebuild the joint architecture, and precisely repositioning the ligaments. The 4-hour surgery was daunting, and the initial recovery in a cast was challenging. However, after six months of dedicated physiotherapy, the results were transformative. The debilitating pain was gone, replaced by a dull ache she could manage. She regained about 70% of her wrist motion, enough to draw, garden, and lift her children again. Emotionally, she moved from a place of grief and frustration over her lost capabilities to one of profound gratitude and regained independence. The procedure didn't just reconstruct her wrist; it reconstructed her sense of self.
