What is Wrist and Arm Surgery?
Among the most common injuries within a hand and wrist are fractures, sprains and strains, as well as tendon damage and rupture. Hand and wrist injuries usually happen as a result of an impact or a fall. When we are trying to absorb an impact with our hand, transferring an entire impact force to our hand or wrist damages it. When a hand or wrist injury is not treated, this can result in permanent lock of a joint movement in the direct area of a fracture/burst. In addition, the limitation of joint movement can be a cause of other more dangerous injuries in the future.
Our affiliated clinic offers a variety of wrist and arm surgeries that can help improve your condition.
Wrist Arthroplasty Procedure
