What Is Wrist & Hand Surgery?  

Hand and wrist surgery includes a wide range of procedures that treat injuries, repetitive motion conditions, and structural disorders. These procedures may involve:

  • Repairing nerves, tendons, ligaments, or bones after injury.
  • Releasing pressure on compressed nerves, such as with carpal tunnel surgery.
  • Removing tumors or growths, such as lipomas or skin cancers.
  • Restoring mobility and strength through tendon transfers or joint surgery.

The goal of treatment is to improve hand function, reduce pain, and restore mobility, often using techniques that minimize scarring.

What To Expect: Before, During & After Surgery 

Hand and wrist surgeries are performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the procedure. Most treatments are outpatient, allowing you to go home on the same day.

  • Before surgery: You’ll meet with Dr. Khan to review your medical history, symptoms, and treatment plan.
  • During surgery: Dr. Khan performs the necessary repair or reconstruction, using precise techniques designed to minimize scarring.
  • Immediately after surgery: Your hand or wrist will be immobilized in a splint, brace, or cast to protect the repair.
  • Recovery: Healing typically involves a period of immobilization followed by rehabilitation. Guided therapy with an occupational hand therapist, combined with a home exercise program, can help restore your strength and mobility.

Recovery takes time, but with structured rehabilitation and Dr. Khan’s attentive guidance, most patients regain comfort, mobility, and the ability to return to their daily activities.
