Hand & Wrist Arthroscopy

Hand & Wrist Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine and treat selected problems affecting the wrist joint and surrounding structures. During the procedure, a small camera called an arthroscope is inserted through a small incision, allowing the surgeon to view the joint and use specialised instruments when treatment is required.

At Asian Orthopaedic Hospital, Hand & Wrist Arthroscopy in Sabarmati is planned according to the patient’s symptoms, wrist condition, imaging findings, functional limitations, and individual treatment requirements.

What Causes Hand & Wrist Problems?

The hand and wrist contain multiple bones, joints, ligaments, cartilage, and soft tissues that work together to provide movement, grip, and stability. Injury or damage to these structures can affect wrist function and make routine activities uncomfortable.

Common problems that may affect the hand and wrist include:

  • Chronic wrist pain
  • Wrist fractures and injuries
  • Wear-and-tear changes
  • Joint and cartilage problems
  • Ligament-related injuries
  • Wrist stiffness and restricted movement
  • Weakness or reduced grip
  • Persistent discomfort affecting hand function

A detailed Hand & Wrist Evaluation helps identify the underlying cause of symptoms. Clinical examination and appropriate imaging can help determine whether Hand & Wrist Arthroscopy or another treatment approach is suitable.

How Is Hand & Wrist Arthroscopy Performed?

During Hand & Wrist Arthroscopy Surgery, a small camera is inserted into the wrist joint through a small incision to provide a detailed view of the internal structures.

Specialised instruments may be introduced through additional small openings to examine and treat selected problems affecting the cartilage, ligaments, and other joint structures.

The treatment approach is personalised according to the patient’s symptoms, clinical findings, imaging results, extent of joint damage, hand and wrist function, and overall health.

Hand & Wrist Arthroscopy Journey

At Asian Orthopaedic Hospital, Hand & Wrist Arthroscopy Treatment follows a structured pathway from diagnosis and treatment planning through minimally invasive surgery and rehabilitation. The recovery plan is tailored to the condition treated and the patient’s functional requirements.

Detailed Knee Evaluation

Your pain, stiffness, grip strength, wrist movement, medical history, and functional limitations are assessed to understand the condition affecting the hand or wrist.

Assessment & Imaging

Relevant imaging and clinical findings are reviewed to identify injuries, cartilage problems, joint changes, or other structural conditions that may be contributing to symptoms.

Personalized Arthroscopy Treatment Planning

The orthopaedic team determines whether Hand & Wrist Arthroscopy is appropriate based on the underlying condition, severity of symptoms, joint damage, functional requirements, and overall health.

Minimally Invasive Surgical Treatment

When arthroscopy is recommended, the surgeon uses a small camera and specialised instruments through small incisions to visualise and treat the affected structures within the wrist joint.

Post-Operative Wrist Care

Following surgery, appropriate guidance is provided regarding wound care, pain management, wrist protection, movement, activity restrictions, and the gradual return to normal hand use.

Physiotherapy & Hand Rehabilitation

A structured rehabilitation program can help improve wrist movement, flexibility, grip strength, and hand function. Exercises and activity progression are adjusted according to the procedure performed and individual recovery.

Follow-Up & Recovery Monitoring

Regular follow-up appointments help the orthopaedic team monitor healing, assess wrist function, and provide guidance throughout the recovery process.

FAQs

Wrist arthroscopy may be used to evaluate selected conditions involving cartilage, ligaments, joint surfaces, injuries, and other structures that can contribute to persistent wrist pain or restricted movement.

Ongoing wrist pain, stiffness, swelling, reduced grip strength, clicking or discomfort during movement, and difficulty using the hand normally may require an orthopaedic assessment.

A small camera provides a direct view inside the wrist joint, allowing the surgeon to examine structures that may not be fully assessed through a physical examination or imaging alone.

Recovery depends on the condition treated and the procedure performed. Initial wrist protection is followed by gradual movement and hand rehabilitation to restore flexibility, strength, and function.

The return to routine activities varies according to the procedure, healing progress, and type of activity. Your orthopaedic team will guide you on when to gradually resume specific hand and wrist movements.
