Broken Wrist Surgery in Delhi
A wrist injury can disrupt your daily life in seconds. A simple fall, a sports collision, or a road accident can lead to swelling, sharp pain, and difficulty moving your hand. Many people try to “wait it out”, but that choice often increases discomfort and delays recovery. At Glyra Orthopaedics, we help patients return to normal movement with safe, structured treatment plans. When the fracture looks unstable or severe, broken wrist surgery may give the best outcome.
Why wrist fractures need proper attention
Your wrist contains several small bones that work together to support hand movement. When one bone breaks, the entire joint can lose balance. The broken bone may shift from its correct position. This misalignment can reduce grip strength, cause long-term stiffness, or create visible deformity.
Many small wrist fractures can be treated with a cast, but not all breaks heal well on their own. When the bone shifts or remains unstable, broken wrist surgery may be needed to correct alignment and provide stability.
Common causes of a broken wrist
Wrist fractures usually happen due to sudden impact. The most common reasons include:
- Falls on an outstretched hand.
- Sports injuries (cricket, football, cycling).
- Road accidents.
- Manual work injuries.
- Osteoporosis / weak bones.
- Older adults are at higher risk due to low bone density.
- Athletes face higher risk because of repeated strain and contact injuries.
When surgery becomes necessary
Not every wrist fracture needs an operation. At Glyra Orthopaedics, our specialists examine the wrist carefully and use X-rays or scans to confirm the fracture pattern. We may recommend broken wrist surgery when:
- The bone breaks into multiple pieces.
- The wrist joint surface becomes uneven.
- The fracture shifts despite casting.
- The wrist loses stability.
- You experience nerve pressure or circulation issues.
These problems affect healing and movement. Surgery can prevent future complications and improve wrist strength.
What happens during Broken Wrist Surgery
In broken wrist surgery, the bones are set back into proper position and stabilised with plates, screws, pins, or wires until healing is complete. Glyra Orthopaedics uses advanced methods and safety standards to support faster healing, with surgical planning tailored to your fracture and daily needs.
Recovery and rehabilitation
Recovery varies based on fracture severity, age, and overall health. After broken wrist surgery, most patients wear a splint or support for a short period. You may start gentle movement exercises early to prevent stiffness. Physiotherapy plays an important role in regaining flexibility and strength.
Our team guides you through each stage, including:
- Pain control and swelling reduction
- Safe wrist movement exercises
- Grip strengthening routines
- Return-to-work planning
Most patients return to daily activities within a few weeks, although complete strength may take longer.
