Advanced Wrist Reconstruction Surgery

Wrist Fractures: Severe fractures of the wrist bones, such as the radius, ulna, or carpal bones, may require surgery to restore alignment, stability, and function to the joint. Wrist reconstruction procedures, such as open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), may be performed to realign fractured bones, secure them with screws or plates, and promote healing.

Wrist Ligament Tears: Injuries to the ligaments that support the wrist, such as the scapholunate ligament, triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC), or lunotriquetral ligament, can lead to instability, pain, and dysfunction. Wrist reconstruction procedures, such as ligament repair or reconstruction, may be performed to restore stability and prevent further damage to the joint.

Wrist Arthritis: Degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis can cause pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of motion in the wrist. Wrist reconstruction procedures, such as joint debridement, arthroplasty (joint replacement), or fusion (arthrodesis), may be performed to alleviate symptoms, improve function, and preserve joint integrity.

Wrist Instability: Recurrent wrist dislocations due to ligamentous laxity or previous injuries may necessitate surgical stabilization to prevent further instability and recurrent dislocations. Wrist reconstruction procedures, such as ligament repair, reconstruction, or augmentation, may be performed to restore stability and function to the joint.

Wrist Trauma: Severe trauma to the wrist, such as crush injuries, high-energy impacts, or penetrating wounds, can cause damage to multiple structures, including bones, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. Wrist reconstruction procedures may be necessary to repair or reconstruct damaged tissues and restore function.

Wrist Tendon Injuries: Tears or ruptures of the tendons surrounding the wrist, such as the extensor or flexor tendons, can lead to weakness, dysfunction, and impaired hand function. Wrist reconstruction procedures, such as tendon repair or tendon transfer, may be performed to restore tendon continuity and function.

Wrist Nerve Compression Syndromes: Conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome or Guyon’s canal syndrome, which involve compression or entrapment of the nerves around the wrist, may be treated with surgical decompression or release procedures to relieve symptoms and restore nerve function.
