Advanced treatment of wrist arthrosis: joint replacement surgery with Dr. Saher Kamal
When the wear of the wrist joint reaches an advanced stage and the pain becomes a hindrance to everyday life, Dr. Saher Kamal, with his world-class experience in microsurgery of joints, offers an effective solution to restore mobility and relieve pain: Wrist Arthroplasty.
Why you may need wrist arthroplasty
Dr. Saher Kamal explains that the destruction of the wrist joint is most often caused by chronic pathological conditions or severe injuries. This advanced surgical procedure is the ideal solution when conservative treatments fail to control pain. The main reasons that lead to this surgery include:
- Rheumatoid arthritis: where the immune system attacks the lining of the joint and destroys it over time.
- Osteoarthritis (roughness): severe wear of the cartilage, often occurring years after a previous injury or fracture of the wrist.
- Post-severe injuries: complex fractures that did not heal properly and led to the destruction of the joint surfaces.
Wrist arthroplasty: Restoring Hope and mobility
This microsurgery is the ultimate solution for patients with severe pain and loss of wrist function. In this procedure, Dr. Saher Kamal performs:
- Removal of worn and damaged joint surfaces of the bones of the wrist and forearm.
- An advanced artificial joint implant specially designed to mimic the natural movement of the wrist.
The primary goal of surgery is to provide permanent relief from pain and restore a functional motor range that allows the patient to carry out his daily activities comfortably and confidently.
Dr. Saher Kamal's approach: from diagnosis to surgery
Before deciding on surgery, Dr. Saher Kamal takes a comprehensive approach to ensure that it is the best option for the patient:
- Accurate diagnosis: begins with a clinical examination, then requires advanced imaging tests such as X-ray (X-ray) and magnetic resonance (MRI) to assess the extent of damage to the joint.
- Exhaustion of conservative solutions: Dr. Kamal makes sure to try all non-surgical options first, such as wearing splints, physiotherapy, and therapeutic injections.
- Surgical planning: when deciding on surgery, the operation is carefully planned to ensure the best possible results.
Other common wrist conditions treated by Dr. Kamal
In addition to joint replacement surgery, Dr. Saher Kamal treats all other wrist conditions, such as:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome: it is a common condition that causes pressure on the median nerve, leading to numbness and pain in the hand.
- Tendonitis: such as De Quervain's tenosynovitis.
- Fractures and sports injuries.
When should I visit an orthopedist
Dr. Saher Kamal advises to go directly to him if your complaint is caused by an injury, a fall, or severe and persistent pain in one joint, especially if it hinders your daily activities. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are the key to maintaining joint function and avoiding worsening of the condition.
