Surgery for hand and wrist related orthopeadic issues
Wrist arthroscopy is surgery that uses a tiny camera and surgical tools to examine or repair the tissues inside or around your wrist. The camera is called an arthroscope. The procedure allows the doctor to detect problems and make repairs to the wrist without making larger cuts in the skin and tissue. This means that you may have less pain and recover more quickly than open surgery.
Hand Joint Replacement surgery involves replacing a destroyed joint with an artificial joint. Joint replacement surgery in the hand is typically used in treating severe arthritis that involves the small joints of the hand. Merging of a joint involves removing the joint and surgically “fusing” the joint’s end so that the two bones effectively form one solid bone. This surgery stops all movement at that joint and therefore eliminates the pain.
