Hand Surgery

Hand surgery focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, and nerves of the hand and wrist.

Symptoms that may require specialist assessment include hand pain, swelling, numbness, reduced grip strength, difficulty moving the fingers, stiffness, and deformities following injuries.

Diagnosis usually involves a clinical examination and may require X-rays, MRI, ultrasound, or nerve conduction studies depending on the suspected condition.

Treatment options vary and may include medication, splinting, physical therapy, injections, or surgery according to the diagnosis and its impact on hand function.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed as it passes through a narrow passage in the wrist called the carpal tunnel.

Common symptoms include:

• Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers.

• Pain in the hand or wrist, sometimes extending into the arm.

• Symptoms that become more noticeable at night.

• Reduced grip strength.

• Difficulty holding objects in advanced cases.

Diagnosis is based on clinical assessment and may include nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG) to evaluate nerve function.

Treatment may include wrist splinting, activity modification, medication, or selected injections. Carpal tunnel release surgery may be considered when symptoms are persistent, severe, or associated with significant nerve dysfunction or weakness.

Hand and Upper Limb Nerve Injuries

Peripheral nerves may be injured by cuts, accidents, fractures, or prolonged compression.

Symptoms depend on the affected nerve and the location of the injury. They may include:

• Reduced or lost sensation.

• Numbness and tingling.

• Muscle weakness.

• Difficulty moving certain fingers.

• Reduced grip strength.

• Neuropathic pain or burning sensations.

Assessment may include a neurological examination, nerve conduction studies, EMG, ultrasound, or MRI when appropriate.

Treatment depends on the type, severity, and duration of the injury. Options may include observation and rehabilitation, nerve decompression, or surgical nerve repair in selected cases.

Hand Tendon Injuries

Tendons connect muscles to bones and allow the fingers and wrist to move. They may become cut or torn following injuries, wounds, or accidents.

Tendon injuries can cause difficulty bending or straightening a finger, reduced movement, pain, and swelling.

Diagnosis is based on clinical examination and may involve ultrasound or MRI when necessary.

Treatment depends on the affected tendon, the extent of the injury, and its location. Options may include splinting, rehabilitation, or surgical tendon repair when indicated. Rehabilitation after treatment is important for restoring movement and hand function.

Trigger Finger

Trigger Finger is a condition in which a finger tendon has difficulty gliding smoothly through its surrounding sheath.

Common symptoms include:

• Pain at the base of the affected finger.

• Clicking or popping during movement.

• Catching or locking when bending or straightening the finger.

• Difficulty fully extending the finger, particularly in the morning.

• The finger remaining locked in a bent position in some cases.

Treatment may include activity modification, splinting, medication, or local injections. A surgical procedure to release the tendon may be considered when conservative treatment does not provide adequate improvement or symptoms significantly affect hand function.

Hand and Wrist Fractures

Hand and wrist fractures can occur following falls, sports injuries, workplace accidents, or direct trauma.

Symptoms may include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the fingers or using the hand.

Assessment usually involves clinical examination and X-rays. CT scans may be required for certain complex fractures.

Some fractures can be managed with splinting or casting. Unstable fractures, displaced fractures, or injuries involving joint surfaces may require surgical fixation depending on the nature of the injury.

Upper Limb Injuries

Upper limb injuries can affect the shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand. They may involve fractures, dislocations, ligament injuries, tendon injuries, or nerve damage.

Symptoms vary according to the affected area and may include pain, swelling, deformity, restricted movement, or reduced sensation.

Treatment depends on the type and severity of the injury and may range from immobilization and rehabilitation to surgery in selected cases.

Microsurgery for Hand and Nerve Conditions

Microsurgery uses an operating microscope and specialized instruments to treat small anatomical structures that require a high level of precision.

In selected cases, microsurgical techniques may be used for:

• Peripheral nerve repair.

• Small blood vessel repair.

• Complex hand injury management.

• Reconnection of injured anatomical structures.

• Selected reconstructive procedures.

The decision to use microsurgery depends on the nature and location of the injury and the extent of damage to nerves, blood vessels, and surrounding tissues.

Treatment Approach of Prof. Dr. Ayman Mansour

The assessment of orthopedic, hand, and upper limb conditions begins with identifying the underlying problem and determining how it affects movement, sensation, and daily function.

The evaluation may include:

• Reviewing the patient's medical history and injury details.

• Performing a detailed clinical examination.

• Assessing joint movement, muscle strength, and sensation.

• Reviewing available imaging and diagnostic tests.

• Evaluating possible nerve, tendon, or blood vessel involvement.

• Considering non-surgical treatment when appropriate.

• Determining whether surgery is necessary based on the individual condition.

• Planning rehabilitation and follow-up to support functional recovery.

The treatment plan is individualized according to the diagnosis, severity of the condition, and the patient's functional needs.
