SPORTS INJURIES
Hand and Finger Injuries
Injuries to the hand are common in athletes, probably because
the hand is characteristically in front of the athlete in
most sports and frequently absorbs the initial contact. Furthermore,
the hand is used in the majority of sports in one way or
another. There is a tendency to minimize the severity and
importance of these injuries since the hand does not bear
weight, and disability of the hand usually does not totally
disable the athlete. This is particularly true of the young
poorly-supervised athletes who tend to return to vigorous
activity with unprotected use of the extremity before adequate
healing has taken place.
It is easy to see how injuries to the wrist, hand, and fingers occur. When they
do occur, the areas typically injured are the collateral ligaments.
