Conditions Treated with Hand Surgery
Dr. Muddappa manages a wide range of hand and finger conditions, including:
- Hand and finger injuries due to trauma
- Tendon injuries and tendon transfers
- Stiff fingers and joint contractures
- Birth-related hand deformities
- Nerve injuries affecting hand movement or sensation
- Post-injury or post-surgical hand deformities
Each condition is assessed individually to decide whether surgery, therapy, or a combination of treatments is needed.
A Functional and Patient-Centred Approach
Hand surgery is not just about correcting structure - it is about restoring useful movement. Dr. Muddappa begins with a detailed evaluation of hand anatomy, injury severity, nerve and tendon function, and patient needs.
As a surgeon with special interest in hand and nerve surgery, he focuses on preserving delicate structures and planning reconstruction that allows maximum recovery. Clear discussion about recovery time, rehabilitation, and expected outcomes helps patients prepare realistically.
The Hand Surgery Procedure
Hand surgery may involve:
- Repairing or reconstructing tendons
- Releasing tight joints or scar tissue
- Correcting deformities
- Repairing nerves
- Microsurgical techniques in complex cases
Procedures are performed under local, regional, or general anaesthesia depending on the condition. Surgery duration varies based on complexity.
Many hand surgeries are performed as day-care procedures, while complex cases may require a short hospital stay.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Recovery after hand surgery often involves hand therapy and exercises, which are critical for regaining movement and strength. Swelling and stiffness are common initially and improve gradually with therapy and time.
Dr. Muddappa works closely with rehabilitation teams and provides clear guidance on splinting, exercises, and activity modification to support optimal recovery.

Hand surgery may be recommended for individuals who:
- Have loss of hand function due to injury or disease
- Experience pain or stiffness affecting daily activities
- Have deformities affecting hand use
- Do not improve with conservative treatment
Early evaluation often leads to better outcomes, especially in tendon and nerve injuries.
