Hand and elbow orthopedics in Mallorca

What is specialized hand and elbow orthopedics?

Specialized hand and elbow orthopedics is the subspecialty of orthopedic surgery responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of pathologies affecting these complex joints. A hand specialist not only addresses injuries that may require surgery, but also functional, degenerative, or nerve-related problems that impact mobility and quality of life.

In our hand and elbow orthopedic unit, we understand that treatment goes beyond surgical intervention. Our team accompanies the patient throughout the entire process: accurate clinical evaluation, personalized therapeutic planning, and follow-up oriented toward complete functional recovery.

Which pathologies do we treat in hand and elbow orthopedics at Imar Palma de Mallorca?

01.

Traumatic injuries of the hand and wrist

They include fractures, dislocations, and tendon or ligament tears caused by falls, accidents, or direct impacts. An early evaluation by a hand specialist is key to preventing stiffness, loss of strength, and functional sequelae.

02.

Degenerative pathology of the hand

Progressive processes of joint wear and tear that generate pain, stiffness, and loss of functionality. They usually develop over time and can limit fine movements and daily activities.

03.

Nerve compression syndromes

They occur when a nerve becomes compressed along its anatomical pathway, causing tingling, numbness, loss of sensation, or weakness in the hand and fingers.

04.

Elbow injuries and pathologies

They range from acute fractures and dislocations to degenerative processes such as elbow osteoarthritis or joint stiffness. Our approach aims to restore stability and function to the joint, minimizing recovery times through advanced techniques.

05.

Sports and overuse injuries

These are disorders derived from continuous exertion or repetitive movements that generate progressive inflammation and pain, especially in individuals with high manual or sports activity.

What advantages does specialized hand orthopedics offer for each of these pathologies?

Accurate and specialized diagnosis

The hand and the elbow are complex areas where minor injuries can cause major limitations. A hand and elbow orthopedic specialist identifies the source of pain with greater accuracy and reduces the risk of incomplete diagnoses or treatments that do not address the actual problem.

Personalized treatments based on each injury

There is no single approach that works for every case. In our unit, the hand orthopedic specialist adapts the strategy to the type of injury, its progression, the patient's activity level, and their goals, always prioritizing the safest and most effective option.

Greater functional recovery

Specialization affects not only the diagnosis but also the outcome. An expert approach to hand and elbow orthopedics is oriented toward restoring mobility, strength, and precision, paying special attention to functional aspects that make a difference in daily life.

Coordinated follow-up and rehabilitation

Progression depends on proper clinical management and a well-guided recovery. That is why we work with close follow-up and coordination with rehabilitation to adjust phases, timing, and goals, preventing relapses and accelerating the return to activity.

Reduction of the risk of sequelae

Early and well-indicated treatment reduces the risk of stiffness, chronic pain, or loss of strength. Specialized hand and elbow orthopedics operates with a preventive focus to minimize complications and improve the long-term prognosis.

What is specialized hand and elbow orthopedics like with Imar Palma?

01.

The process begins with a detailed medical consultation in which the specialist performs a thorough clinical examination and analyzes the patient's history, the type of pain, functional limitation, and progression time.

02.

When necessary, imaging tests such as X-rays, ultrasound, or MRI are requested to confirm the diagnosis and evaluate the degree of involvement of bones, tendons, ligaments, or nerves.

This phase allows for accurately determining the source of the problem and ruling out associated injuries that could impact recovery.

03.

Once the diagnosis is established, a therapeutic plan tailored to each patient is designed.

In our hand and elbow orthopedic unit, we always prioritize the most appropriate treatment based on the injury and its progression, aiming to relieve pain, restore mobility, and regain functionality with the least possible impact on the patient's daily routine.

04.

The process does not end with the initial treatment. We perform continuous follow-up to evaluate progression, adjust guidelines, and coordinate rehabilitation when necessary.

This support allows for optimizing recovery times, reducing the risk of relapses, and ensuring a stable and long-lasting outcome.

Is hand orthopedic surgery painful?

Hand and elbow orthopedic surgeries are currently performed using advanced surgical techniques and anesthetic protocols that allow for effective pain management both during and after the intervention. In most cases, the procedures performed by a hand specialist are outpatient and include personalized analgesic guidelines that minimize postoperative discomfort. The intensity of the pain will depend on the type of injury and the procedure, but with proper follow-up and individualized planning, recovery is usually well-tolerated and progressive.

How long does recovery take after hand surgery?

Recovery time after hand orthopedic surgery varies depending on the pathology treated, the technique used, and the patient’s characteristics, but it generally ranges between several weeks and a few months to achieve full functional recovery. In our specialized hand orthopedic unit, a structured postoperative plan is established that combines clinical management and, when necessary, specific rehabilitation, with the goal of restoring mobility, strength, and precision in the shortest possible time without compromising safety.

What is rehabilitation like after an elbow intervention?

Rehabilitation after an elbow orthopedic intervention is a progressive process oriented toward restoring range of motion, joint stability, and muscle strength. Under the coordinated supervision of the elbow specialist and the rehabilitation team, exercises adapted to each healing phase are prescribed, preventing stiffness and promoting a safe functional recovery. Regular medical follow-up allows for adjusting the intensity of the treatment and optimizing medium- and long-term outcomes.

Fernando me hizo una ecografía para ver la causa, y después me trató con radiofrecuencia y masajes, aliviando muchísimo el dolor aunque me avisó que tendría que pasar por quirófano. Después, ya recuperada de la operación, viendo que todo estaba perfecto, me dijo que no importaba que volviera a hacerme nada más, salvo que me volviese a doler. Podría haberme recomendado ir cada semana solo para ganar dinero, pero no lo hizo.

La semana pasada volví con un problema en la mano y nuevamente salí contentísima, y sin dolor.

Aparte de fisioterapia he visto que ofrecen otros servicios como neurocirugía, psicología, etc. ¡También tienen un tratamiento revolucionario para eliminar -o minimizar al máximo- los dolores menstruales en una sesión!

En IMAR de verdad saben cómo tratarte, y lo hacen de forma absolutamente empática y honesta.

 Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Por un accidente de tráfico he necesitado rehabilitación y por recomendación del DC Pedro Llinás comencé en la clínica Imar. No puedo estar más contenta, la evolución de mis lesiones y el alivio del dolor fueron a mejor en muy poco tiempo. Todo el equipo son excelentes. Mi trato más directo es con Óscar, un 💯 como profesional y persona, con Marta que es una encanto, sumamente amable, paciente y resolutiva y el DC Llinás que ha sido un alivio contar con un gran profesional que pauta mi tratamiento a seguir.
Cuentan con tecnología y equipos modernos, adecúan los tratamientos en función de las lesiones y utilizan distintas técnicas. Profesionales muy preparados. Generan mucha confianza. Y las instalaciones son acogedoras y cómodas.
Sin ellos aún estaría con muletas. Gracias.
