Wrist Surgery

Restoring Strength, Mobility & Precision to Your Hand and Wrist

The wrist is a complex joint comprised of eight small bones, multiple ligaments, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels, all working in harmony to support your hand’s intricate movements. When trauma, degeneration, or congenital issues disrupt this delicate balance, you may experience pain, stiffness, weakness, or nerve symptoms that limit daily activities and quality of life. Dr. Manjush Ramesh Halbhavi, a fellowship-trained Orthopaedic and Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon, offers expert evaluation and advanced wrist surgery to address a wide spectrum of wrist conditions in patients of all ages.

When Is Wrist Surgery Needed?

Wrist surgery is considered when non-surgical measures—such as splinting, activity modification, medication, or physical therapy—fail to relieve symptoms, or when there is clear structural damage that compromises function or risks long-term degeneration. You may be a candidate for surgical intervention if you experience:

Persistent wrist pain that interferes with work, sports, or hobbies
Limited range of motion or grip strength
Numbness, tingling, or weakness from nerve compression (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome)
Visible deformity or instability after a fracture or ligament tear
Progressive arthritis causing joint destruction

Common Wrist Conditions Treated

Distal Radius Fractures – Complex breaks near the wrist joint
Scaphoid and Other Carpal Bone Fractures – Small-bone fractures often prone to delayed healing
Ligament Injuries & Instability – Tears of the scapholunate or lunotriquetral ligaments
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Compression of the median nerve causing pain and numbness
Ganglion Cysts – Fluid-filled lumps arising from joint or tendon sheaths
Wrist Arthritis – Post-traumatic or degenerative arthritis

Types of Wrist Surgeries Offered

Dr. Halbhavi tailors each procedure to your anatomy and lifestyle, utilizing open or minimally invasive (arthroscopic) techniques when appropriate:

Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF): Stabilizing fractures with plates, screws, or wires
Arthroscopic Debridement & Repair: Minimally invasive cleaning of damaged tissue, repair of torn ligaments, or removal of loose fragments
Carpal Tunnel Release: Relieving pressure on the median nerve through a small incision or endoscopic technique
Tendon Sheath Release (De Quervain’s Release): Creating space for inflamed tendons to glide smoothly
Ganglion Excision: Removing painful cysts and repairing the underlying joint capsule
Proximal Row Carpectomy or Partial Wrist Fusion: Salvage procedures for advanced arthritis
Lunate Revascularization (Kienböck’s Treatment): Restoring blood flow to preserve wrist mechanics

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Successful wrist surgery relies on a structured rehabilitation program. Initial immobilization in a cast or splint is followed by gradual motion exercises and strength training under the guidance of a hand therapist. Most patients regain functional motion and strength within 8–12 weeks, though complete recovery varies by procedure and individual factors.
