And she revealed she will be out of action for the next few months as a result.
That means there is no chance of her playing at Roland Garros and will also be forced to skip her home Grand Slam at the All England Club.
Raducanu, 20, has struggled for form and fitness since her miraculous US Open win in September 2021.
She dropped out of the world’s top 100 in the rankings last month and has taken the decision to undergo the multiple procedures – and could be back to play at Flushing Meadows in the late summer.
The Kent ace said in a hand-written note on Instagram: “It is safe to say the last ten months have been difficult as I dealth with a recurring injury on a bone of both hands.
“I tried my best to manage the pain and play through it for most of this year and end of last year by reducing practice load dramatically, missing weeks of training as well as cutting last season short to try heal it. Unfortunately, it’s not enough.
“I’m having a minor procedure done on both hands to resolve the issues.
“I’m disappointed to share that I will be out for the next few months and while I am at it will have another minor procedure that is due on my ankle.
“It pains me that I will miss the summer events and I tried to downplay the issues so I thank all my fans who continued to support me when you did not know the facts.
“Looking forward to seeing you all back out there.”
