The Emirates Hand surgery Society is dedicated to advancing the field of wrist replacement surgery in the United Arab Emirates. Our commitment to excellence in wrist surgery is reflected in a variety of initiatives and partnerships aimed at enhancing this specialized field. Here’s a glimpse of what the society is actively doing to elevate wrist surgery in the UAE:

Facilitating Learning Opportunities

Continuous learning is at the heart of our mission. We offer a range of educational programs, workshops, and seminars that cater to both seasoned practitioners and those aspiring to specialize in wrist surgery. These opportunities provide a platform for hands-on training, skill development, and staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in the field.

There are a wide range of wrist surgery procedures to address various conditions and injuries. Let’s look at some of the following types of wrist surgery:

1. Wrist Replacement Surgery

Wrist replacement surgery, also known as wrist arthroplasty, is a procedure that involves replacing damaged wrist joints with artificial implants. This advanced surgical option is often recommended for individuals with severe wrist arthritis or joint deformities.

2. Arthroscopic Wrist Surgery

Arthroscopic wrist surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes a tiny camera and small incisions to diagnose and treat wrist conditions. It allows for precise visualization of the wrist joint, making it an excellent choice for procedures such as ligament repairs, removal of ganglion cysts, and treatment of wrist fractures.

3. Wrist Ligament Repair

Wrist ligament injuries can result in instability and pain. The wrist ligament repair procedures are performed to restore stability and function to the wrist joint.

4. Carpal Tunnel Release

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that causes numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand and wrist. The carpal tunnel release surgery is performed to alleviate these symptoms by relieving pressure on the median nerve.

Conducting Workshops and Conferences

Our society organizes workshops and conferences that serve as focal points for sharing cutting-edge research and innovations in wrist surgery. These events feature prominent speakers, live surgical demonstrations, and discussions on emerging trends. They provide a vital space for surgeons, researchers, and healthcare professionals to come together and enhance their knowledge and expertise.

Partnerships with Companies like Maarefah

To expand our reach and further enrich our educational programs, we collaborate with renowned organizations like Maarefah Management. Such partnerships enable us to tap into a global network of experts who can share their insights and knowledge with practitioners in the UAE. These international experts often conduct scientific meetings, training sessions, workshops, and lectures, enriching the local expertise in wrist surgery.

Working with Hospitals and Clinics

Ensuring best practices in wrist replacement surgery extends beyond educational initiatives. We actively work with hospitals and clinics across the UAE to promote and implement the highest standards of care. Our society engages in partnerships that facilitate the exchange of knowledge and expertise, ultimately benefiting patients by providing access to top-notch hand surgical care.

Public Education and Research

In addition to professional development, we recognize the importance of public education and research in advancing wrist surgery. Our society strives to raise awareness about hand injuries and disorders through educational campaigns and outreach programs. We also support and promote research efforts that contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field.
