About Wrist Surgery

Wrist surgery is a specialized orthopedic procedure performed to address various conditions affecting the wrist joint, bones, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. Common surgeries include carpal tunnel release for nerve compression, fracture fixation using pins, plates, or screws, ligament repair for instability, and arthroscopy for minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment. The goal is to restore function, alleviate chronic pain, correct deformities, and improve grip strength and range of motion. Performed by an orthopedic surgeon, often with hand surgery specialization, the approach, whether open or arthroscopic, is tailored to the specific diagnosis, aiming for optimal recovery and a return to daily activities.
