Surgical interventions
In some cases, only surgical intervention will solve the problem. For example, internal fixation can be required in cases of open or very severe fractures. Patients may also benefit from carpal tunnel release surgery in carpal tunnel syndrome. Orthopedic surgery can also be of help in patients with tenosynovitis and tendinopathies.
A variety of techniques are available for each condition. Thus, the surgery recommended in your case may depend on your doctor’s experience, your health condition, and other associated diseases. Remember that sometimes surgery is the only solution for wrist pain. Thus, even if you are hesitant about it, talk to your doctor to get a realistic view of your options and their long-term effectiveness.
