Rehabilitation

Step-by-step rehabilitation protocols and exercise guides for upper-limb procedures. Your surgeon or hand therapist will confirm which protocol applies to you and may adjust the timings to your operation.

Open முழங்கை நிலையற்ற தன்மை Rehabilitation after surgery for elbow instability, covering both lateral (terrible triad / LCL) injuries and throwing (medial UCL) injuries, built around protected early movement rather than immobilisation. Open கடினமான முழங்கை விடுபடுதல் (ஆர்த்ரோலிசிஸ்) An early, aggressive movement recovery plan after an operation to free up a stiff elbow — the surgeon regains the bend and straightening on the table, and the whole job of rehabilitation is to keep that range, starting from day one with no sling and no protection phase. Open மொத்த முழங்கை மாற்று அறுவை சிகிச்சை (Arthroplasty) Recovery after a total elbow replacement: gentle assisted motion in a simple sling early, a functional movement arc as the goal, and a permanent lifelong lifting limit to protect the implant. Open

Hand & wrist protocols

கார்பல் டன்னல் ரிலீஸ் Post-operative exercises and precautions after carpal tunnel release, including tendon and nerve glides. Open டி குவெர்வேனின் விடுதலை An early-motion recovery plan after surgical release of the first dorsal compartment for de Quervain's tenosynovitis, with brief comfort support, gentle thumb and wrist movement from the start to prevent stiffness, scar care, and a graded return to grip and pinch strength by around four to six weeks. Open டிஐபி கூட்டு இணைப்பு A protected recovery plan after fusion (arthrodesis) of the small fingertip joint nearest the nail, keeping the fingertip splinted while every other joint stays moving and swelling is controlled, then progressively rebuilding pinch and grip once the bone has joined. Open விளிம்பு ரேடியஸ் முறிவு (ORIF) Staged rehabilitation after plate fixation of a distal radius fracture, from the first days to return to full activity. Open DRUJ ஹெமிரெசெக்ஷன் ஆர்த்தோபிளாஸ்டி A recovery plan after hemiresection-interposition arthroplasty of the distal radioulnar joint, where the worn part of the ulnar head is partially removed to restore pain-free forearm rotation; after a brief period of protection, early forearm rotation (turning the palm up and down) is the priority, with heavier loading added gradually. Open டுபுய்ட்ரென் விடுதலை Rehabilitation after Dupuytren's fasciectomy — the extension splint regime and exercise program, with hand-therapist follow-up. Open எக்ஸ்டென்சர் தசை சீரமைப்பு A recovery plan after repair of an extensor tendon on the back of the finger or hand (zones IV to VII), using a relative-motion (yoke) splint that lets you use the hand straight away while protecting the repair, then weaning the splint and building strength in careful stages. Open விரல் அறுவை சிகிச்சை Post-operative exercises and precautions after finger surgery, including joint blocking and tendon glides. Open ஃப்ளெக்சர் ஷீத் காங்லியன் எக்ஸிஷன் A quick, motion-led recovery plan after excision of a flexor tendon sheath ganglion (volar retinacular cyst) at the base of a finger, protecting a small palm wound while you start gentle finger movement within days, then add scar care and grip as the wound settles. Open பிளெக்ஸர் டெண்டன் சரிசெய்தல் An early-active-motion recovery plan after repair of a flexor tendon in the finger, using the Manchester short splint to move the healing tendon gently and safely from the first week while protecting the repair for six weeks. Open மால்ட் விரல் A splint-led recovery plan for mallet finger, holding the fingertip joint completely straight without interruption for about six to eight weeks so the extensor tendon can heal, while the other finger joints keep moving. Open MCP கூட்டு மாற்று A hand-therapy-led recovery plan after silicone (Swanson) knuckle-joint replacement, built around a dynamic extension splint that holds the knuckles straight and slightly radial while you bend them early — re-shaping the joints in a corrected position and reversing ulnar drift. Open பகுதியளவு மணிக்கட்டு ஒன்றிணைப்பு A protected recovery plan after a partial wrist fusion (capitolunate fusion, usually with removal of the scaphoid) for a worn-out wrist, immobilised until the bones knit at about six to eight weeks, then progressively restoring a useful but deliberately reduced arc of wrist movement and grip strength. Open PIP கூட்டு இணைப்பு A protected recovery plan after fusion (arthrodesis) of the middle finger joint, holding the fused joint still in a splint while keeping every other joint moving from day one, then restoring grip and pinch once the bone has united. Open PIP கூட்டு மாற்று A protected recovery plan after silicone replacement of the worn middle joint of a finger (the PIP joint), where the speed of starting movement depends on whether the surgeon went in from the front (palm side) or the back of the finger. Open ஸ்காஃபோய்டு ஃபிக்சேஷன் A protected recovery plan after surgical fixation of a scaphoid fracture with a buried headless compression screw, easing the wrist back into movement early under the screw's protection while the slow-healing bone unites, then building grip and strength, with loading and contact sport held back until union is confirmed. Open கட்டைவிரல் அடிப்பகுதி கூட்டு மாற்று (தொடு) A staged recovery plan after a dual-mobility total joint replacement of the arthritic thumb base (the Touch implant), protecting the new joint in a thumb splint at first, then restoring opposition and movement, then building pinch and grip strength. Open துவக்க விரல் வெளியீடு Post-operative exercises and precautions after trigger finger release, including tendon glides and joint blocking exercises. Open மணிக்கட்டு ஆர்த்ரோஸ்கோபி A recovery plan after keyhole (arthroscopic) wrist surgery, where the pace depends on what was done inside: a clean-up (debridement, synovectomy, ganglion or central TFCC tidy-up) allows early movement and a quick return, while a TFCC repair protects forearm rotation in a splint or cast for about four to six weeks before motion and strength are rebuilt. Open மணிக்கட்டு இணைப்பு A recovery plan after total wrist fusion (arthrodesis), where the worn-out wrist is joined solid with a dorsal plate so it no longer moves by design, while the fingers, thumb and forearm rotation are kept moving from the start and grip is built up once the bone has united. Open மணிக்கட்டு கங்லியன் அறுவை சிகிச்சை An early-motion recovery plan after excision of a dorsal or volar wrist ganglion, using minimal immobilisation then prompt movement of the wrist in every direction to prevent the stiffness that is the most common problem after this operation. Open
