FAQs : Your Questions Answered
Q1: My finger locks when I bend it – is this trigger finger?
Dr: *”Yes, that ‘catching’ sensation is classic trigger finger. Early cases may respond to splinting/steroid injections, but persistent locking often requires a 10-minute release procedure.”*
Q2: How soon can I write/drive after carpal tunnel surgery?
Dr: “Most patients resume light activities in 3–5 days. Full grip strength returns in 2–3 weeks with therapy.”
Q3: My child has webbed fingers – when should we operate?
Dr: “Syndactyly repair is ideally done at 6–12 months old. Early intervention prevents growth abnormalities.”
Q4: Are there non-surgical options for Dupuytren’s?
Dr: “For early cords, collagenase injections can help. But advanced contractures need surgery to prevent permanent bending.”
Q5: What makes hand fractures different from other breaks?
Dr: *”Hand bones require perfect alignment – even 1mm displacement can impair function. We use micro-plates for precision fixation.”*
