Injured your finger and now the tip is drooping? It could be a mallet finger, a common injury that occurs when the tendon that straightens your fingertip is damaged. This happens when the tip of your finger is forcefully bent, often during sports or from a simple household accident.
A mallet finger can cause:
• Pain and swelling at the tip of the affected finger.
• The inability to straighten the fingertip on your own.
• The fingertip may appear to be droopy or bent downward.
It's crucial to seek medical attention quickly. Without proper treatment, a mallet finger can lead to permanent deformity and a loss of function.
As Dr. A. Mohan Krishna, a Senior Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon at Apollo Hospitals and Mohan's Bones & Joints Clinic, I specialize in diagnosing and treating hand injuries like mallet finger. My goal is to help you restore your finger's function and get you back to your daily activities safely.

Is that nagging pain and stiffness in your hands making simple tasks difficult? It could be arthritis of the hand, a common condition that can affect the joints in your fingers, thumb, and wrist.
Hand arthritis causes the smooth cartilage on the ends of your bones to wear down, leading to painful friction and inflammation. This can impact your ability to grip objects, button a shirt, or even write.
Symptoms often include:
• Pain and swelling in the joints of your hand.
• Stiffness, especially in the morning.
• A grinding sensation or a "clicking" sound when you move your fingers.
• Weakness in your grip.
While arthritis is not curable, it is manageable. Early diagnosis and a tailored treatment plan can help relieve pain, improve function, and slow the progression of the disease.
I'm Dr. A. Mohan Krishna, a Senior Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon at Apollo Hospitals and Mohan's Bones & Joints Clinic. I specialize in diagnosing and treating hand conditions, and I'm dedicated to helping you regain your hand's function and quality of life.

Notice your fingers curling inward and getting stuck in a bent position? It might be Dupuytren's Contracture, a hand condition that can affect your ability to straighten one or more fingers.
This progressive disorder causes the tissue just beneath the skin of your palm to thicken and form cords that pull the fingers into a bent position. While it's typically painless at first, it can eventually limit hand function, making everyday tasks like shaking hands or putting your hand in your pocket difficult.
Symptoms to watch for include:
• Small, firm lumps or pits in the palm of your hand.
• A cord-like band that develops under the skin, extending from the palm toward the fingers.
• Fingers that gradually curl inward and cannot be straightened.
Early intervention is key to managing this condition. I'm Dr. A. Mohan Krishna, a Senior Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon at Apollo Hospitals and Mohan's Bones & Joints Clinic. My expertise lies in diagnosing and treating Dupuytren's Contracture, with a focus on personalized care to restore hand function.

Feeling pain and swelling at the base of your thumb near the wrist? It could be De Quervain's Tenosynovitis, a painful condition that affects the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist.
This condition is often caused by repetitive motions, such as texting, typing, or lifting a baby, which can irritate the two tendons that run through a tight tunnel at the wrist.
Symptoms of De Quervain's Tenosynovitis include:
• Pain and swelling at the thumb side of the wrist.
• A "sticking" or "catching" sensation when you move your thumb.
• Difficulty with grasping or pinching.
• Pain that worsens with movement of the thumb and wrist.
