Jammed finger is a common term used to describe various types of finger joint injuries. It happens from a forceful impact originating at the tip of the finger directed towards the base. It happens from a forceful impact originating at the tip of the finger directed towards the base.
The scaphoid bone is one of the carpal bones of the wrist. It is situated between the hand and forearm on the thumb side of the wrist (also called the lateral or radial side). It forms the radial border of the carpal tunnel. The scaphoid bone is the largest bone of the proximal row of wrist bones, its long axis being from above downward ...
Fractures in the joints are often caused by jammed finger injuries, the hand equivalent of a stubbed toe. If a tendon pulls away the bit of bone to which it is attached (an avulsion fracture , shown in the image at the top of the page, and in the Busch fracture images below), that will also lead to a fracture in a joint.
Most hand injuries are minor and can heal without difficulty. However, any time the hand or finger is cut, crushed or the pain is ongoing, it is best to see a physician. Hand injuries when not treated on time can result in long term morbidity. [6] Simple hand injuries do not typically require antibiotics as they do not change the chance of ...
There is generally pain and bruising at the back side of the farthest away finger joint. [3] A mallet finger usually results from overbending of the finger tip. [3] Typically this occurs when a ball hits an outstretched finger and jams it. [3] This results in either a tear of the tendon or the tendon pulling off a bit of bone. [3]
In carpal tunnel syndrome, one of the tendons or tissues in the carpal tunnel is inflamed, swollen, or fibrotic and puts pressure on the other structures in the tunnel, including the median nerve. Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most commonly reported nerve entrapment syndrome. [2] It is often associated with repetitive motions of the wrist and ...
The SL angle is an indicator of dorsal intercalated segment instability deformity (DISI). The SL angle goes between: [1] - A line through the long axis of the scaphoid bone. ...
Purpose of the treatment is the removal of the epiphysis that causes the abnormal growth of the wrist. This is done by making a small incision at the volar-radial side. This approach passes the Flexor pollicis longus and Palmaris longus and leaves the Median nerve and Radial artery protected.
