Simple & Complex Hand Surgery
Dr Alnabi treats various hand conditions, from minor corrections to complex repairs. He evaluates causes of discomfort, stiffness, or mobility issues and chooses the best surgery to restore function and minimise downtime.
Trigger Finger
Trigger finger causes fingers or thumbs to lock or catch during bending due to tendon inflammation. A release procedure eases tension by opening the tendon sheath, allowing smoother movement and lasting relief.
Carpal Tunnel
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve, leading to numbness, tingling, and weakness. Surgery relieves symptoms by creating more space around the nerve, restoring strength and sensation.
De Quervain’s Release
De Quervain’s tenosynovitis causes pain along the thumb side of the wrist, often worsened by repetitive thumb movements. A simple release procedure relieves pressure on the affected tendons, restoring comfort and range of motion in the hand and wrist.
Dupuytren Contracture Surgery
Dupuytren’s contracture causes thick tissue in the palm, bending fingers inward over time. Surgery releases or removes this tissue, restoring hand flexibility and aiding daily tasks.
Trauma Hand Surgery
Dr Alnabi manages a wide spectrum of traumatic hand injuries, including fractures, tendon lacerations, dislocations, and soft tissue damage. Whether it’s an emergency or post-trauma reconstruction, his goal is to restore hand structure, strength, and motion with precision and care.
Hand Nerve Surgery
Injuries or conditions affecting the nerves in the hand can cause numbness, weakness, or pain. Nerve repair or decompression surgery can restore sensation and function, especially in trauma, compression, or chronic damage.
How Should I Prepare for Surgery?
Preparation for hand surgery varies by procedure, but most patients should:
- Stop smoking and avoid blood thinners as advised.
- Complete blood tests or assessments.
- Arrange time off work, especially if your dominant hand is involved.
- Plan for a driver to take you home.
- Follow fasting instructions for sedation or anaesthesia.
- Wear loose clothing and remove jewellery.
Dr Alnabi will provide instructions before your procedure to ensure safety and reduce stress.
What Can I Expect After Surgery?
After hand surgery, patients usually experience swelling, stiffness, and mild discomfort, manageable with medication and rest. Recovery varies, but involves wearing a bandage, splint, or brace. Patients should initially elevate the hand and limit movement, followed by follow-up to monitor healing and remove stitches.
A gradual return to activities, often accompanied by hand therapy, is expected. Dr Alnabi guides each recovery phase to ensure proper healing and help regain strength, mobility, and comfort.
