FAQ's

Hand surgeons are specialised in treating a broad spectrum of conditions affecting the hand, wrist, and forearm. This includes fractures, tendon injuries, nerve compressions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, congenital anomalies, and more. Conditions like Dupuytren's contracture, trigger finger, ganglion cysts, and rheumatoid arthritis affecting the hand are also addressed by our experts. Our interdisciplinary team provides comprehensive care that is customised to meet the individual needs of every patient.

It's essential to consult a hand surgeon if you experience persistent pain, swelling, stiffness, or loss of function in your hand, wrist, or forearm. Symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or difficulty performing daily activities may also warrant a consultation. Prompt diagnosis and swift intervention can enhance results by averting further issues.

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve in the wrist is compressed, leading to a common hand condition. This compression leads to symptoms like pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers, often affecting the thumb, index, and middle fingers. Diagnosis is typically based on a physical examination, nerve conduction studies, and Electromyography (EMG). Treatment options range from conservative measures like splinting and medication to surgical intervention in severe cases.

Hand injuries are diagnosed through a comprehensive evaluation, which may include a physical examination, X-rays, MRI, and other imaging studies as needed. In some cases, additional tests like nerve conduction studies, Ultrasound, or Arthroscopy may be required for a more accurate diagnosis. Our team of specialists is trained to identify and treat a wide range of hand injuries, from fractures and dislocations to ligament and tendon injuries.

Pain management is an integral part of our surgical approach. Our team will provide you with medications and techniques to manage pain effectively during and after the surgery. Most patients experience some discomfort, which is managed with pain relievers, anti-inflammatory medications, and sometimes, nerve blocks or regional anesthesia. Our goal is to minimise pain and discomfort, allowing for a smoother recovery and better outcomes.

Preventing hand injuries involves adopting safe practices and habits in daily activities and work environments. It's essential to use proper protective gear, such as gloves and wrist guards when handling tools and machinery. Practising good ergonomics, taking regular breaks, and avoiding repetitive strain can also help reduce the risk of hand injuries. Stretching exercises, warm-up routines, and maintaining overall fitness and flexibility can further enhance hand health and reduce injury risk.

After hand surgery, you will spend time in a recovery room where your hand will be bandaged or splinted to protect and reduce swelling. You may experience some pain, for which your doctor will prescribe medications. Once you are ready, a hand therapist will guide you through exercises to regain hand function. Swelling and bruising are common; elevating your hand and applying ice can help. Proper wound care is crucial to prevent infection; follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Your doctor will provide guidelines on activities to avoid and when to resume normal activities. Follow-up appointments are essential for monitoring healing, removing stitches, and adjusting your treatment plan.

Swelling is common after hand surgery due to the body's response to injury, sending fluid to aid healing. To reduce swelling, keep your hand and arm elevated above heart level for 3 to 7 days post-surgery or as advised by our team. Briefly lowering the arm for rest is fine, but keep it minimal. Hand surgeons can teach techniques and provide devices like slings or special pillows to help maintain elevation, aiding in faster recovery and reduced swelling.

Recovery from hand surgery typically takes 2 to 4 months to return to work and normal daily activities. While some people may feel better sooner, full recovery can take several months to a year. Factors influencing recovery include the type of surgery, overall health, age, and adherence to post-operative care and rehabilitation. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions and attend any recommended therapy sessions to optimise healing and regain hand function.
