More About Hand and Wrist Surgery
An orthopedic hand and wrist surgeon is specially trained to diagnose and treat problems of the hand, wrist, and forearm, and many are also experts in caring for shoulder and elbow issues.
Typical symptoms include swollen fingers, difficulty making a fist or gripping objects, numbness or tingling sensation in the hands, pain, numbness, or tingling that gets worse at night, a sudden or sharp pain in the hand, Swelling or redness around the wrist, and warmth in a joint near the wrist.
The investigations include X-ray, Ultrasound, check for Tinel's sign as in this test, the physician taps over the median nerve at the wrist to see if it produces a tingling sensation in the fingers and Wrist flexion test (or Phalen test) in which the patient rests his or her elbows on a table and allows the wrist to fall forward freely.
Early symptoms of arthritis of the hand includes the joint pain that may feel like a burning sensation and the pain usually occurs after periods of increased joint use such as heavy gripping or grasping.
Pain and swelling are normal symptoms after surgery. To help manage this the doctor recommends keeping the hand raised above heart level and after 10-15 days it gets better.
