Arm Surgery, a specialized branch of orthopedic and reconstructive surgery, encompasses a spectrum of procedures aimed at diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating various conditions affecting the upper extremities. Surgeons proficient in arm surgery address a wide array of issues, including fractures, dislocations, nerve injuries, tendon or ligament damage, arthritis, tumors, and congenital deformities. Preoperative evaluation involves a comprehensive assessment, utilizing imaging techniques like X-rays, CT scans, or MRI to ascertain the extent and nature of the arm condition. Surgical interventions vary from minimally invasive procedures, such as arthroscopy for joint disorders, to complex reconstructions for severe trauma or deformities. During surgery, meticulous precision is employed to realign bones, repair soft tissues, or remove tumors, often employing techniques like internal fixation with screws, plates, or rods. Reconstructive surgeries may involve tendon transfers, nerve grafts, or joint replacements to restore functionality and alleviate pain. Postoperatively, rehabilitation plays a pivotal role, encompassing physical therapy and exercises tailored to enhance range of motion, strength, and functionality. Close postoperative monitoring ensures optimal recovery, enabling patients to regain arm function and resume their daily activities with improved mobility and reduced discomfort.
