When Is Hand Surgery the Right Choice?
Surgery is not always the first option. Dr. Mohamed Ali always considers non-surgical management splinting, injections, physiotherapy, and ultrasound-guided procedures before recommending a surgical approach. When surgery is indicated, it is because conservative measures have failed or the injury requires surgical repair for the best outcome.
Surgery is typically indicated when:
- Non-surgical treatment has failed after an appropriate trial.
- The injury requires primary repair of nerve cuts, tendon lacerations, and unstable fractures.
- The condition is progressive and will worsen without intervention.
- The functional deficit significantly affects daily life, work, or sport.
Elbow & Upper Limb Procedures
Dr. Ali’s elbow surgery practice covers the full range from arthroscopic elbow surgery for contracture and loose bodies to fracture fixation and ligament reconstruction for instability.
Tendon Repair
Primary repair of flexor and extensor tendons. Zone II flexor injuries require particular expertise for optimal gliding and grip function.
Tendon Transfer
Rerouting a functioning tendon to replace a non-functioning muscle-tendon unit. Used for nerve palsy, rupture, and irreparable injuries.
Nerve Repair
Microsurgical repair of severed peripheral and digital nerves. Best outcomes with primary repair within 72 hours. Restores sensation progressively.
Nerve Transfer (Neurotization)
Rerouting a donor nerve to reinnervate a paralyzed target used when direct nerve repair is not possible. Advanced microsurgical technique.
Ultrasound-Guided Surgery
Minimally invasive release of trigger finger, carpal tunnel, De Quervain’s, and Lacertus syndrome using real-time ultrasound; no formal theater required.
