Tendons in the hand and wrist allow smooth, precise movements needed for daily life. When they are injured through trauma, strain, or repetitive use, simple tasks like gripping, typing, or lifting become difficult. At Dr Nikita Shetty’s clinic in Mumbai, tendon injuries are carefully evaluated to restore both comfort and function.
When to Suspect a Tendon Injury
Tendon problems can arise suddenly after an accident or gradually over time. Signs that should not be ignored include:
- Pain or tenderness that does not ease with rest
- Swelling or warmth around the joint
- Difficulty bending or straightening fingers
- A popping or snapping feeling during movement
- Loss of movement in severe cases
How Treatment is Done
Accurate diagnosis often requires a physical exam and imaging such as ultrasound or MRI. Based on severity, treatment may involve:
- Rest, splints, and anti-inflammatory medicines for minor injuries
- Physiotherapy to improve flexibility and prevent stiffness
- Surgical repair for ruptures or deep lacerations
Why Timely Care Matters
Ignoring tendon injuries can lead to permanent stiffness or reduced hand strength. Early treatment helps restore mobility faster and reduces complications.
