Some Common Questions

Have questions you want answers to?

Surgical wrist conditions include distal radius fractures, scaphoid fractures, TFCC (triangular fibrocartilage complex) tears, scapholunate ligament injury, wrist arthritis, ganglion cysts, and de Quervain's tenosynovitis. Dr. Prasanna in Yeshwanthpur evaluates each condition to determine the optimal surgical approach.

Wrist arthroscopy uses a tiny camera and miniature instruments through small wrist incisions to diagnose and treat conditions like TFCC tears, ligament injuries, synovitis, and ganglion cysts. It offers precise visualization, less pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring compared to open wrist surgery.

Distal radius fractures are repaired using volar locking plate fixation, which allows precise reconstruction of the wrist joint surface and early mobilization. Dr. Prasanna in Yeshwanthpur uses modern plating systems and image guidance to ensure accurate fracture reduction and stable fixation for faster recovery.

The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) is a cartilaginous structure on the ulnar side of the wrist that cushions load and stabilizes the joint. TFCC tears cause ulnar wrist pain and clicking. Arthroscopic repair or debridement by Dr. Prasanna in Bangalore restores pain-free wrist function.

The scaphoid is a small wrist bone prone to fracture from a fall. Undisplaced fractures may heal with casting, but displaced or proximal pole fractures require surgical fixation with a cannulated headless screw. Early surgery prevents non-union and avascular necrosis, ensuring optimal healing.

Recovery depends on the procedure. Arthroscopic TFCC repair requires 4–8 weeks of splinting followed by physiotherapy. Fracture fixation allows early mobilization within 4–6 weeks. Full wrist strength and motion recovery takes 3–6 months with structured hand physiotherapy at Dr. Prasanna's Yeshwanthpur clinic.

Wrist fusion (arthrodesis) permanently joins the wrist bones to eliminate pain in end-stage arthritis. While it sacrifices wrist motion, it restores pain-free grip strength for daily activities. It is recommended when other treatments fail and the patient prioritizes pain relief over motion.

Yes, many wrist procedures including arthroscopic TFCC repair, ganglion removal, and de Quervain's release are day-care outpatient surgeries at Dr. Prasanna's Yeshwanthpur clinic. More complex fracture repairs or reconstructions may require a short hospital stay.
