Injuries to the hand and wrist in athletes
Abstract:
Injuries involving tendons, ligaments, and bones are commonplace with many physical activities. Although the majority of these injuries are minor and cause only temporary discomfort, their potential for producing serious and occasionally permanent disabilities must not be ignored. The initial physical and roentgenographic examination of the injured part must be thorough. Only then can the severity of the injury be recognized and appropriate treatment undertaken. Promptness will limit the period of disability and minimize the chances of development of a chronic condition.
