Common Conditions Treated by Our Hand Surgery Team

Hand problems can arise due to injuries, repetitive strain, arthritis, nerve damage, or congenital deformities. Our specialists diagnose and manage a wide range of hand and wrist conditions, including:

1. Fractures and Dislocations

Fractures of the fingers, wrist, or forearm are among the most common hand injuries. Our surgeons perform precise fracture fixation using plates, screws, and wires, ensuring quick healing and early mobilization.

2. Tendon and Nerve Injuries

Tendon lacerations and nerve injuries can severely limit hand function. Our expert team performs microsurgical tendon and nerve repairs using advanced magnification tools for optimal recovery of movement and sensation.

3. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

A common condition caused by compression of the median nerve in the wrist, leading to numbness, tingling, and weakness. Carpal tunnel release surgery at GMC Ortho Hospital is performed using minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery.

4. Trigger Finger

Trigger finger occurs when finger tendons become inflamed, causing the finger to lock or catch during movement. Our surgeons perform simple outpatient procedures to release the affected tendon sheath and restore smooth motion.

5. Rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis

Arthritis can deform joints and restrict movement. We offer joint reconstruction and tendon balancing surgeries along with custom splinting and physiotherapy to relieve pain and improve hand function.

6. Congenital Hand Deformities

Children born with hand deformities such as syndactyly (fused fingers) or polydactyly (extra fingers) can benefit from our reconstructive hand surgery services, improving both function and appearance.

7. Microvascular and Replantation Surgeries

In cases of severe trauma or amputations, our surgeons perform microvascular replantation — reattaching severed fingers or hands using microsurgery techniques to restore blood flow and function.
