A distal radius fracture is one of the most common wrist injuries, often occurring after a fall onto an outstretched hand.

Dr. Rabinowitz explains that symptoms typically include immediate pain and swelling at the wrist, and prompt evaluation is important. X-rays help determine whether a fracture is present and guide the best course of treatment.

Some fractures can be treated with casting or splinting, while more complex or unstable fractures may require surgical repair using a plate and screws to restore alignment and support healing.

If you experience wrist pain and swelling after a fall or injury, seeking timely medical care is essential to ensure proper treatment and recovery.

If your hand is painful, weak, and no longer working the way it should, it can start to feel like you’re running out of options.

Dr. Ajul Shah explains bionic hand reconstruction and who it may be for. After severe trauma or nerve injuries, such as a brachial plexus injury, some patients are left with a hand that can’t move, can’t grip, and remains a constant source of pain even after surgeries, therapy, or medication.

Bionic reconstruction is a carefully planned approach that replaces a nonfunctional, painful hand with an advanced prosthetic, while also using nerve-based reconstruction to help address chronic pain. For many patients, it isn’t a setback, it’s a step toward getting function back when traditional reconstruction can no longer deliver it.

A key part of the process involves “rewiring” nerves so the prosthetic can be controlled in a more natural, intuitive way. This can help patients return to everyday tasks like typing, picking up small objects, or handling simple routines that most people don’t think twice about.

It’s a major decision and not right for everyone, which is why it’s guided by a multidisciplinary team to make sure it’s truly the best fit for the patient’s life and goals.

Chronic shoulder, arm, or neck pain that keeps coming back can be exhausting, especially when tests come back “normal” and you’re left without clear answers.

Dr. Ajul Shah explains the human disharmony loop, a cycle of pain and dysfunction that often starts with a tight pectoralis minor, a small muscle in the front of the chest. When it shortens, it can pull the shoulder forward, throw off shoulder blade stability, and disrupt the mechanics of the neck, upper back, shoulder, and arm. Over time, that imbalance can irritate surrounding muscles and even compress nerves, leading to a pattern where pain causes poor movement and poor movement feeds more pain.

This pattern can show up in athletes, bodybuilders, people with repetitive strain, women with larger breasts, and those with a history of trauma like a car accident. Once it’s properly identified through a detailed exam and focused testing, treatment can be directed at the source, and for some patients, a targeted outpatient surgical release may offer lasting relief.
