Abstract:
Sports participation places the fingers at risk for injury, especially from end-on contact with many kinds of balls and other objects. Certain sports are likely to produce specific injuries. Joint sprains and dislocations are especially common, whether or not accompanied by articular fractures. Tendon ruptures in the digit may not be recognized until many days or weeks later. The athlete must be aware of the need for early, accurate diagnosis, precise treatment, and complete rehabilitation for these often apparently innocuous injuries.
