Wrist sprains often result from falls on outstretched hands, sports, accidents, or repeated trauma.
Wrist tendonitis may result from sports, accidents, or repeated trauma. Age, diseases, and genetics can also contribute to its development.
Scaphoid fractures and other wrist fractures require accurate diagnosis for appropriate treatment.
Jammed finger symptoms include pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected finger, often resulting from a blunt-force impact.
Soft Tissues of the Wrist
Wrist ligaments, tendons, and blood vessels provide strength, flexibility, and sensation to the forearm and hand.

Surgery for Wrist Sprain
Depending on the severity, wrist sprain surgeries may be performed arthroscopically through a small incision, or through open surgical procedures.
Surgery for Wrist Tendonitis
Severe or chronic wrist tendonitis injuries may be treated with open surgical procedures. In less severe cases, minimally invasive techniques may be used.
Surgical options for treating a distal radius fracture include open reduction and internal fixation.
