Understanding Wrist and Hand Injuries:
The hands and wrists are intricate structures with an extensive network of bones, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Injuries to these areas can occur due to various factors, from sudden trauma to overuse or repetitive stress.
Common Causes and Types of Injuries:
Trauma: Accidents, falls, or direct blows to the hand or wrist can result in fractures, sprains, or dislocations.
Overuse: Repetitive activities, such as typing, using handheld devices, or engaging in certain sports, can lead to overuse injuries like tendonitis or carpal tunnel syndrome.
Arthritis: Degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can affect the joints in the hands and wrists, causing pain and stiffness.
Recognizing Symptoms:
Identifying the early signs of wrist and hand injuries is crucial for prompt intervention and effective treatment:
Pain and Swelling: Persistent pain, swelling, or tenderness in the hands or wrists may indicate an underlying issue.
Reduced Range of Motion: Difficulty moving the fingers, hand, or wrist may be a sign of joint or tendon problems.
