Diagnosis of Tendon and Nerve Injuries

To diagnose tendon and nerve injuries, our team at Dr. Subhash Center for Plastic Surgery in Kakinada will perform a comprehensive evaluation, including:
  • Physical examination: Our surgeon will examine the affected area and check for any signs of a tendon or nerve injury.

  • Nerve conduction studies: We may perform nerve conduction studies to evaluate the function of the nerves and muscles in the affected area.

  • Imaging tests: We may perform imaging tests, such as X-rays or MRI scans, to get a better look at the affected area.

Treatment Options for Tendon and Nerve Injuries

At Dr. Subhash Center for Plastic Surgery in Kakinada, we offer a range of treatment options for tendon and nerve injuries, including:
  • Non-surgical treatments: We may recommend non-surgical treatments, such as physical therapy, splinting, or medication, to help reduce pain and improve function.
