What Is Hand & Wrist Surgery?
Hand and wrist surgery refers to a group of procedures used to treat conditions affecting the bones, joints, nerves, ligaments, and tendons in the hand and wrist.
Common causes for surgery include:
Nerve compression (e.g. carpal tunnel syndrome)
Fractures and dislocations
Tendon injuries
Ligament tears
Joint problems (such as arthritis or instability)
Cysts and tumours
Repetitive strain injuries
Our specialists focus on minimally invasive techniques, precise diagnosis, and patient-specific treatment plans.
Conditions We Treat
We offer care for a wide range of hand and wrist problems, including:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – A condition where the median nerve in the wrist is compressed, causing numbness, tingling, and weakness.
Wrist fractures – Such as Colles’ fracture, commonly from falls.
Trigger finger – A condition where a finger locks in a bent position, often causing discomfort.
Tendon injuries – Commonly result from repetitive use, trauma, or sports-related activities.
De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis – Painful inflammation on the thumb side of the wrist.
Ganglion cysts – Fluid-filled lumps on the wrist or hand.
If not treated early, these conditions may cause lasting damage. Seeking timely care is crucial.
Surgical and Conservative Treatments
Not every hand or wrist issue requires surgery. We always begin with a thorough evaluation and recommend the least invasive approach first, which may include:
- Rest and activity modification
- Physiotherapy and strengthening exercises
- Splints or braces
- Anti-inflammatory medications
- Steroid injections
Surgery might be recommended if symptoms continue or worsen over time. We perform a variety of procedures, including:
- Carpal tunnel release
- Wrist fracture fixation
- Tendon and ligament repair
- Removal of cysts or tumours
- Arthroscopy for joint evaluation and repair
If you’re seeking carpal tunnel release in Mumbai or wrist fracture treatment, our team provides expert, compassionate care tailored to your needs.
What Is Nerve Release Surgery?
Nerve release surgery is performed to relieve pressure on compressed nerves. The most common types are:
Carpal Tunnel Release – A surgical method to ease nerve compression in the wrist by creating more space within the carpal tunnel.
Cubital Tunnel Release – Frees the ulnar nerve at the elbow, relieving tingling or numbness in the ring and little fingers.
These procedures can be performed as day-care surgeries, often with minimally invasive methods.

Recovery and Healing Timeline
Your recovery timeline will vary based on the type of surgery and your overall health. Here’s what most patients can expect:
After minor procedures (e.g. carpal tunnel release):
- Light use of the hand within days
- Full use in 2–4 weeks
After fracture repair or tendon surgery:
- Splint or cast for a few weeks
- Physiotherapy starts gradually
- Recovery in 6–12 weeks
We provide a personalised recovery plan for every patient, including home care instructions and therapy support.

FAQs About Hand and Wrist Surgery
Q: Is hand surgery painful?
A: Most procedures are done under local or regional anaesthesia. Post-surgical discomfort is usually mild and well-managed with medication.
Q: How soon can I use my hand after surgery?
A: It depends on the type of procedure. For simple nerve release, you may use your hand gently within days. Fractures or tendon repairs may require longer rest.
Q: Will I need physiotherapy?
A: In many cases, yes. Rehabilitation helps restore strength and movement. We’ll guide you based on your individual needs.
