Understanding Elbow & Wrist Disorders
The elbow and wrist represent sophisticated articulation complexes essential for positioning the hand and providing strong grip. Conditions such as tennis elbow, distal radius fractures, scaphoid nonunion, TFCC tears, and severe elbow stiffness can severely handicap daily activities. Targeted orthopaedic management restores stability, relieves pain, and maintains long-term joint function.
Personalized Evidence-Based Clinical Care
Every treatment protocol is tailored specifically to your diagnosis, anatomy, and lifestyle goals, combining cutting-edge surgical precision with structured physiotherapy for optimal long-term outcomes.
When Should You Consider Consultation for Elbow & Wrist Disorders?
Specialist intervention is considered when joint pain or functional limitation significantly disrupts your daily life and conservative measures have been exhausted. Check if you experience any of the following:
Persistent elbow or wrist pain that impairs work, typing, or lifting.
Feeling of instability, locking, or clicking during forearm rotation.
Numbness and tingling in the hand waking you up at night (carpal tunnel syndrome).
Stiffness preventing the hand from reaching the mouth or rotating fully.
Fracture of the elbow or wrist following a fall.

Treatment Modalities Offered
Dr. Vijay Kumar practices conservative joint-sparing protocols first, proceeding to advanced surgical intervention only when indicated:
Non-Surgical & Joint Sparing
- Custom thermoplast splints and targeted bracing
- Physiotherapy and eccentric strengthening exercises
- Ultrasound-guided biologic or anti-inflammatory injections
- Ergonomic workstation modifications
Specialised Surgical Procedures

- Ligament reconstruction for elbow and wrist instability
- Volar locked plating for distal radius and scaphoid fractures
- Minimally invasive carpal tunnel release
- Total or partial joint replacement for severe arthritis
Recovery Timeline & Mobility Milestones
Weeks 1–2: Early active finger and wrist motion within safe arcs.
Weeks 3–6: Progressive stretch therapy and forearm strengthening.
Weeks 8–12: Return to full daily lifting and sporting activities.
