About Wrist Dislocation Reduction

Wrist dislocation reduction is a critical orthopedic procedure performed to realign the bones of the wrist joint after a traumatic displacement. Typically caused by high-impact falls or sports injuries, a dislocation occurs when the carpal bones are forced out of their normal position relative to the radius and ulna. The procedure involves the orthopedic specialist applying controlled manual traction and manipulation to guide the bones back into their correct anatomical alignment, often under sedation or anesthesia to manage pain and muscle spasms. Following a successful closed reduction, the wrist is immobilized in a splint or cast to allow healing of the surrounding ligaments and soft tissues. Prompt and precise reduction is essential to restore function, alleviate pain, and prevent long-term complications like chronic instability or arthritis.

Key Highlights

    Restores normal anatomical alignment of the wrist joint.Provides immediate relief from severe pain and deformity.Helps prevent long-term complications like chronic instability, stiffness, or post-traumatic arthritis.Often performed as a closed procedure without the need for surgical incisions.Essential first step in treating a traumatic wrist injury to facilitate proper healing.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Acute traumatic dislocation of the radiocarpal or midcarpal joints confirmed by X-ray.
  • Visible deformity, severe pain, and loss of wrist function following an injury.
  • Compromised blood flow (ischemia) or nerve function (numbness, tingling) in the hand due to the dislocation.
  • Dislocation associated with a fracture (fracture-dislocation) that requires alignment.
  • Failure of conservative measures for a subluxation (partial dislocation).

How to prepare

  • Immediate medical evaluation in an emergency department or clinic.
  • Diagnostic imaging, primarily X-rays, to confirm the type and direction of the dislocation and rule out fractures.
  • Assessment of neurovascular status (checking pulses, sensation, and movement in the fingers).
  • Administration of analgesics and often sedation or a regional nerve block to ensure patient comfort and muscle relaxation.
  • Informed consent discussion detailing the procedure, risks, and expected outcomes.

Risks & possible complications

  • Failure of reduction, requiring a repeat procedure or surgical intervention.
  • Damage to nerves, blood vessels, or tendons surrounding the joint.
  • Recurrence of dislocation (instability).
  • Stiffness and reduced range of motion in the wrist.
  • Post-traumatic osteoarthritis developing in the joint over time.
  • Complications from anesthesia or sedation.
  • Chronic pain or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).

Recovery & hospital stay

  • The reduced wrist is immobilized in a plaster cast or splint for typically 3 to 6 weeks to allow ligament healing.
  • Elevation of the hand and fingers is crucial for the first few days to control swelling.
  • Pain is managed with prescribed medications, and ice packs can be applied over the cast.
  • Follow-up X-rays are scheduled to ensure the bones remain in correct alignment.
  • After cast removal, a structured physiotherapy program begins to restore strength, flexibility, and function.
  • A gradual return to normal activities and sports is guided by the orthopedic surgeon and physiotherapist.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days (often outpatient/ER procedure)
  • checked Expected recovery time: 6-12 weeks for full functional recovery

PATIENT REVIEW

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.
