Hand surgery in Lucknow

Repair of damaged or torn tendons, the tissues that connect muscle to bone, after trauma, infection or sudden rupture.

Hand injuries can damage nerves, causing loss of function and feeling. Some heal on their own; others need surgical repair.

Reattaching an accidentally amputated finger or hand using microsurgery, under magnification.

The most common nerve compression in the arm, linked to injury, osteoarthritis, pregnancy, diabetes and thyroid disease. It causes pain, numbness and tingling in the hand, often at night, and clumsiness or dropping things.

Fluid-filled, non-cancerous lumps on the wrist or hand. They can be painful or limit movement if they press on a nerve.

A rare, usually benign growth, most often under the nail bed, causing pain and sensitivity to cold. It is most common in adults aged 20–50.

Tightening of the tissue in the palm that stops the fingers straightening. Surgery is advised when the bend at the base of a finger exceeds 20–30°, a finger joint is contracted, or the condition is painful or worsening quickly.

Fingers are separated with zigzag incisions, sometimes with a small skin graft. Usually done around one year of age, or around six months when the thumb or little finger is involved.

The less functional finger is removed and the dominant one reconstructed.

A finger, usually the little finger, that cannot fully straighten. Under general anaesthesia the bone is corrected and held with small pins or wires.

A bent or curved finger. In severe cases the bone is cut, straightened and stabilised while it heals; the curve can occasionally return.

The thumb clicks or locks when straightened because the tendon catches. Surgery between 1 and 3 years of age releases the tendon so it glides freely.

The thumb stays bent across the palm. Massage, stretching and splinting come first; surgery is considered if there is no improvement in three to six months.
