Wrist deformity correction treatment becomes necessary when the wrist heals in an improper position after a fracture or gradually shifts due to arthritis. Dr Nikita Shetty evaluates such cases carefully, focusing on restoring proper alignment and improving functional movement. Many patients first notice difficulty rotating the wrist or reduced grip strength, and only later realize the structural change behind it.
A misaligned wrist can affect tendon movement, joint stability, and even nerve function. Over time, this may lead to chronic pain or weakness. So the question becomes, should you wait, or correct it early before further damage occurs?
Causes of Wrist Deformity
- Malunited fractures
- Advanced arthritis of the wrist

Treatment for Wrist Deformity

Dr Nikita Shetty designs wrist deformity correction treatment based on severity, age, and functional needs. If wrist alignment is limiting daily life in Dadar, booking an appointment can help you understand the safest and most effective correction options.
