Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The most common nerve compression condition affecting the hand. The median nerve becomes compressed causing numbness, tingling, and pain in the thumb, index, middle, and half of the ring finger. Dr. Tuteja’s expertise in carpal tunnel release Mumbai procedures ensures optimal relief with minimal scarring.

Wrist Fractures

Particularly distal radius fractures, among the most common bone injuries. These can range from simple undisplaced fractures to complex intra-articular injuries requiring specialized surgical techniques. Dr. Tuteja’s trauma surgery training ensures excellent functional outcomes.

Trigger Finger & De Quervain’s

Trigger finger involves inflammation causing fingers to catch or lock during bending. De Quervain’s tenosynovitis affects thumb-side tendons, causing pain with grasping and twisting movements. Surgical release provides excellent relief when conservative treatments fail.

Dupuytren’s Contracture

Involves thickening and contracture of the fascia in the palm, causing fingers to bend toward the palm and limiting hand function. Surgical treatment can restore finger extension and improve hand function significantly.

Tendon Injuries & Arthritis

Cuts or ruptures of tendons significantly impact function requiring specialized surgical repair techniques. Degenerative arthritis affecting various hand and wrist joints causes pain and limits function, with treatment ranging from conservative management to joint replacement.

Conservative Treatment

Splinting, bracing, anti-inflammatory medications, targeted injections, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and activity modifications. Custom-fitted splints provide support and reduce symptoms while specialized hand therapy restores function.

Carpal Tunnel Release

Releases the transverse carpal ligament to relieve pressure on the median nerve. Can be performed through traditional open or endoscopic methods. Dr. Tuteja’s expertise ensures optimal relief with minimal scarring and rapid return to function.

Wrist Fracture Fixation

Complex wrist fractures require surgical reduction and fixation using plates, screws, or external fixation devices. Dr. Tuteja’s trauma surgery training ensures fractures are treated with appropriate techniques to restore normal anatomy and function.

Tendon Repair & Reconstruction

Injured tendons require specialized surgical techniques for optimal healing. Primary repair is preferred when possible, while tendon transfers or grafts may be necessary for more complex injuries requiring microsurgical skills.

Carpal Tunnel Release

The most common nerve release procedure, involving dividing the transverse carpal ligament to relieve median nerve pressure. Excellent success rates for symptom relief.

Cubital Tunnel Release

Addresses ulnar nerve compression causing symptoms in the hand, particularly numbness in the ring and little fingers with associated weakness.

Guyon’s Canal Release

Less common procedure addressing ulnar nerve compression at the wrist level, which can cause numbness and weakness in the hand.

First Dorsal Compartment Release

Treats De Quervain’s tenosynovitis by releasing the tight tendon sheath on the thumb side of the wrist for excellent symptom relief.

Immediate Post-Operative Phase

Pain management and wound care are primary concerns. Many procedures allow for early gentle motion to prevent stiffness while protecting healing tissues.

Early Recovery (1-6 weeks)

Range of motion exercises are gradually introduced. Some procedures may require immobilization for several weeks, while others allow immediate motion.

Intermediate Recovery (6-12 weeks)

Strengthening exercises are introduced as healing progresses. Return to light activities and work may be possible during this phase for many procedures.

Advanced Recovery (3-6 months)

Full strengthening and functional activities are typically possible. Return to heavy lifting, sports, and demanding activities depends on the procedure and individual healing.

Long-term Recovery

Most patients achieve excellent long-term outcomes with proper treatment and rehabilitation. Dr. Tuteja provides ongoing guidance to optimize long-term function.
