Advanced surgical repair and reconstruction techniques to restore joint stability and hand function.
Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that connect bones and stabilize joints. In the hand and wrist, complex ligament structures like the Scapholunate or Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) are crucial for grip strength and precision.
When these ligaments tear due to sports injuries or falls, they often require surgical intervention to prevent chronic instability, pain, and long-term joint degeneration.
Commonly involving the scapholunate ligament, causing a "gap" between wrist bones and loss of power.
A tear of the UCL at the base of the thumb, making it impossible to pinch or hold objects firmly.

Chronic instability can lead to early arthritis. Early surgical consultation is key.
