Wrist Reconstruction Surgery

Wrist reconstruction surgery encompasses various procedures to address wrist joint issues and restore function. It is considered when conservative treatments fail to provide adequate relief from pain and disability.

Reasons for Surgery

  • Severe arthritis: Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis causing significant pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion.
  • Wrist instability: Recurrent dislocations or chronic ligament tears leading to instability.
  • Non-healing wrist fractures: Fractures that haven’t healed properly after months of treatment.
  • Deformities: Abnormalities in wrist alignment affecting function.
  • Tendon problems: Severe tendon tears or ruptures impacting movement.

The Surgery Process

  • Pre-operative planning: We will discuss your medical history, symptoms, and expectations, and determine if arthroscopic shoulder surgery is the right option for you.
  • Anaesthesia: You will receive general or regional anaesthesia to keep you pain-free during the surgery.
  • Surgery: The surgeon makes small incisions and inserts the arthroscope and instruments to visualise and address the underlying issue and implants artificial components or performs reconstructive procedures.
  • Closure: The incisions are closed with stitches or staples.

Recovery

  • Sling immobilization: Immobilisation in a splint or cast for several weeks.
  • Pain management: Medication will be prescribed to manage pain and discomfort.
  • Physical therapy: Gradual exercises will be started to regain strength, motion, and stability in the shoulder joint.
  • Follow-up visits : Regular checkups with your doctor will monitor your progress and ensure proper healing.

Benefits

  • Reduced pain: By addressing the source of pain, the surgery can significantly improve shoulder pain and discomfort.
  • Increased function: Regaining strength and motion in the shoulder allows you to return to your daily activities and sports.
  • Improved quality of life: Reduced pain and improved function can significantly enhance your overall quality of life.
