Hand surgery is proving to be a boon for a pain-free life
Pune, 3rd August 2024: Recently, the three-day national symposium on hand surgery was held in Pune under the able guidance of noted hand surgeon, Dr. Pankaj Jindal. The symposium was organized by Hand Surgery India and supported by the Indian Orthopaedic Association.
Delegates came from as far as Kashmir and Assam, highlighting the importance of this event. On the first day, discussions focused on hand injuries and their management. Later, the focus shifted to managing hand pain to improve patients’ quality of life. The symposium covered a comprehensive range of topics related to hand surgery, featuring intense discussions on 80 topics over three days.
Dr. Jindal addressed participants’ questions, emphasizing achieving the best results and eliminating complications. This was followed by discussions on the reconstruction and rehabilitation of injured hands. Topics also included congenital hand deformities, especially thumb reconstruction in children, paralyzed hands, tingling sensations, spastic hands, amputated fingers, and correcting hand contractures caused by burns and injuries. Additionally, managing hand pain from various causes, such as arthritis, was covered.
Dr. Pankaj Jindal said, “Deformities of the hand, burns and scalds, congenital anomalies, disabilities in children’s hands, paralysis of the hand, and fused fingers cause physical and social suffering in life. Overcoming such physical deformities and leading a pain-free life is made possible by hand surgery. The main aim of this symposium was to discuss treatment methods that address the shortcomings in the field of hand surgery and provide relief to patients from all kinds of problems so that emerging surgeons can learn these techniques.”
