Tendon and nerve Injuries
Tendon and nerve injuries can result from a variety of causes, including trauma, sports injuries, and repetitive motion injuries. These injuries can have a significant impact on your ability to use your hands, arms, and legs, and can cause pain and discomfort. At Dr. Subhash Center for Plastic Surgery in Kakinada, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of tendon and nerve injuries, and we are committed to helping you regain function and mobility.
Common Types of Tendon and Nerve Injuries
Tendon injuries can occur when a tendon is stretched or torn due to trauma or overuse. Common types of tendon injuries include:
- Tendinitis: Inflammation of a tendon due to repetitive motion or overuse.
- Tendinosis: A degenerative condition of a tendon that results from overuse or aging.
- Tendon tears: A complete or partial tear of a tendon due to trauma or injury.
Nerve injuries can occur when a nerve is compressed, stretched, or cut. Common types of nerve injuries include:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome: A condition that occurs when the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, causing pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand and wrist.
- Ulnar nerve compression: A condition that occurs when the ulnar nerve is compressed at the elbow, causing pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand and forearm.
- Nerve lacerations: A complete or partial cut of a nerve due to trauma or injury.
Diagnosis of Tendon and Nerve Injuries
To diagnose tendon and nerve injuries, our team at Dr. Subhash Center for Plastic Surgery in Kakinada will perform a comprehensive evaluation, including:
- Physical examination: Our surgeon will examine the affected area and check for any signs of a tendon or nerve injury.
- Nerve conduction studies: We may perform nerve conduction studies to evaluate the function of the nerves and muscles in the affected area.
- Imaging tests: We may perform imaging tests, such as X-rays or MRI scans, to get a better look at the affected area.
