Wrist Disorders
Wrist disorders include fractures, instability, ganglion cysts, and TFCC injuries, often caused by trauma or repetitive stress, impacting wrist motion and load-bearing.
Dr. Vamsi combines precise diagnostics with advanced surgical and non-surgical treatments tailored to each patient’s needs. His patient-centric approach ensures optimal recovery and restoration of hand function with minimal downtime.
Dr. Vamsi’s Three-Step Approach to Treating Hand Disorders
Precise Diagnosis
Dr. Vamsi uses clinical evaluation and imaging to identify the exact cause and severity of the disorder.
Targeted Treatment
He begins with non-surgical options like splints, therapy, or injections, and opts for minimally invasive surgery if needed.
Focused Recovery
A structured rehab plan ensures patients regain hand strength, flexibility, and daily function effectively.
Conditions Treated
Distal Radius Fractures
A common wrist fracture near the end of the forearm bone, often caused by falls, requiring proper alignment and stabilization for recovery.
Scaphoid Fractures
Breaks in the small scaphoid bone of the wrist, typically due to falls on an outstretched hand; often hard to detect and may need surgical fixation.
Carpal Instability
Abnormal movement between the small wrist bones (carpals), leading to pain, weakness, and potential long-term arthritis if untreated.
Ganglion Cysts
Noncancerous, fluid-filled lumps commonly forming on the wrist joints or tendons, sometimes causing pain or limiting movement.
TFCC Injury (Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex)
Damage to the cartilage structure on the ulnar side of the wrist, leading to pain, clicking, or instability, especially during rotation.
ECU Instability (Extensor Carpi Ulnaris)
A condition where the ECU tendon slips out of place at the wrist, causing pain, snapping, and weakness during hand movements.

What is hand surgery?
Hand surgery is the field of medicine that includes the investigation, preservation, and restoration by medical, surgical, and rehabilitative means of all structures of the upper extremity directly affecting the form and function of the hand and wrist.
Why visit a hand surgeon?
Hand is an unique part of a human body made up of complex arrangement of bone, tendons, muscles, nerves, blood vessels and skin. All the elements should be in good condition to achieve a functional hand. An injury or disease can affect any or all of these structures and impair the use of the hand. The Hand surgeon is a specialist with knowledge and experience who is capable to diagnose all hand and upper limb disorder and restore it to its original form. Not all condition require surgery and non- surgical methods like splint, therapy, injections and mediation are often recommended.

- Pain
- Tingling or numbness affecting upper limb.
- Difficulty is performing daily task using hands.
