Fractures & Joint Injuries in the Hand

The hand and wrist are made of small bones and complex joints that allow gripping, writing, typing, and fine daily movements. When a fracture, dislocation, or ligament injury occurs, even minor misalignment can lead to long-term stiffness, pain, or loss of function. At Dr. Dharmesh JB’s Clinic in Bangalore, we provide specialized care for hand fractures and joint injuries with a focus on stable healing and early restoration of movement.

Treatment is planned based on the fracture pattern, joint involvement, stability, and functional demands of the patient. The aim is to restore alignment, maintain joint mobility, and prevent complications such as stiffness or malunion.

Fractures & Joint Injuries We Treat

Hand Fractures (Fixation and Reconstruction)

Hand fractures can involve the fingers (phalanges), palm bones (metacarpals), or wrist region and may be simple or complex. When the fracture is displaced, unstable, or involves the joint surface, surgical fixation may be required using techniques such as wires, screws, plates, or external support to maintain alignment. In complex injuries, reconstruction may be needed to restore bone length, stability, and finger motion—helping you regain grip strength and functional hand use.

Joint Injuries and Dislocations

Joint injuries may occur due to dislocation, ligament tears, or fracture-dislocations following falls, sports injuries, or accidents. Dislocations can affect finger joints, knuckles, or the wrist and may cause pain, deformity, and restricted movement. Treatment may involve reduction (putting the joint back in place), splinting, ligament repair, or surgical stabilization in unstable cases. Early and proper management reduces the risk of chronic instability, arthritis, and stiffness.

Treatment Approach

Depending on injury severity, treatment may include conservative care such as splinting and physiotherapy, or surgical fixation and stabilization. Our focus is on achieving accurate alignment, protecting the joint surfaces, and enabling safe early mobilization to regain motion and function.
