Wrist and hand fractures often happen suddenly due to falls, road accidents, or sports injuries. What follows is pain, swelling, and the inability to use the hand normally. Early and accurate treatment plays a major role in how well the bones heal and how much function returns. At Dr Nikita Shetty Orthopaedic Surgeon in Mumbai, wrist and hand fractures are managed with a careful, patient focused approach aimed at long term recovery.
Signs You May Have a Wrist or Hand Fracture
- Persistent pain after injury
- Swelling or bruising around the wrist or fingers
- Difficulty gripping, lifting, or rotating the hand
- Visible deformity or abnormal positioning
How Wrist and Hand Fractures Are Treated
Each case begins with a detailed clinical examination supported by imaging such as X-rays or scans. Treatment depends on the type and severity of the fracture and may include
- Immobilization using splints or casts for stable fractures
- Guided rehabilitation once healing begins
- Surgical fixation for displaced or complex fractures
Why Early Care Makes a Difference
Delaying treatment can lead to improper healing, stiffness, and reduced hand strength. Prompt care improves alignment, healing time, and overall function.
If a wrist or hand injury is limiting your routine, book an evaluation in Mumbai and take the first step toward proper healing.
