Dr. Singh is also offering WALANT (Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet) surgery, a virtually painless procedure that allows patients to stay awake during the operation. This technique uses lidocaine and epinephrine to "freeze" the nerves, reducing risks associated with general anesthesia and allowing for a more accurate assessment of hand function during surgery.

Most patients report little to no pain during WALANT hand surgery. The "WALANT" technique stands for "Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet." Before the procedure begins, the surgeon injects a local anesthetic (similar to what a dentist uses) into the hand. This completely numbs the area, so you will be awake but won't feel any pain during the surgery itself. You might feel a small pinch when the anesthetic is first injected, but the surgical site will be numb afterward. After the surgery, you may experience some soreness or discomfort as the anesthetic wears off, which can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
The most common symptoms of a hand fracture include pain, swelling, bruising, tenderness, difficulty moving fingers, deformity in the hand, and in some cases, a visible misalignment of the bones.
You should see a specialist about your wrist pain if the pain persists for more than a few days, worsens over time, or is accompanied by swelling, numbness, weakness, or an inability to move your wrist or hand. It’s also important to seek medical attention if the pain follows an injury, such as a fall, or if it’s interfering with your daily activities. A specialist can help diagnose the cause and recommend appropriate treatment.
Dr. Singh uses minimally invasive techniques for nerve compression treatment. This means that the procedures are performed using small incisions and specialized tools, resulting in less pain, scarring, and downtime compared to traditional open surgery. Dr. Singh will discuss all available treatment options with you and determine the best approach for your specific case.
