Pediatric Hand Trauma

Children are naturally active and hand injuries can happen during play, cycling, sports, falls, or accidents. Pediatric hand trauma needs a child-specific approach because growing bones, delicate tendons, and developing nerves require careful handling to protect future growth, alignment, and long-term hand function. At Dr. Dharmesh JB’s Clinic in Bangalore, we provide specialized care for hand injuries in children—from minor injuries to complex trauma—while focusing on functional recovery and minimal scarring.

As a specialist in hand, nerve, and microsurgery, Dr. Dharmesh JB combines precise treatment with a gentle, child-friendly approach to ensure the best functional and cosmetic outcomes.

Child-Specific Approach to Hand Fractures, Tendon & Nerve Repair

Pediatric trauma management is different from adult hand injury care. Children’s bones heal faster, but growth plates and developing structures must be protected to avoid deformity later. Our treatment approach includes:

Hand Fractures (Child-Specific Fixation): Careful alignment and stabilization to protect growth plates and prevent long-term stiffness or deformity.
Tendon Repair in Children: Gentle handling of tissues and precise repair techniques to restore finger motion while minimizing adhesions and scarring.
Nerve and Vessel Repair: Microsurgical precision to restore sensation and blood flow, helping the child regain function as healing progresses.
Splinting & Early Rehab: Age-appropriate splints and guided therapy plans to support healing and maintain mobility.

Our Treatment Approach

Pediatric hand trauma management focuses on restoring growth potential and function. Depending on the injury, treatment may include fracture fixation, microsurgical repair of nerves or vessels, tendon reconstruction, skin grafting, or soft tissue reconstruction. Every step is planned to minimize scarring and support natural development of the hand.
