Types of Hand & Wrist Injuries

Hand and wrist injuries can vary significantly in terms of severity and impact. Here are some common types of injuries treated at our clinic:

  1. Fractures:
    • Wrist Fractures: These often result from falls or direct trauma and can involve fractures of the distal radius or scaphoid bone.
    • Hand Fractures: These include fractures of the metacarpals or phalanges, commonly caused by accidents or impact injuries.
  2. Ligament Injuries:
    • Sprains: Stretching or tearing of ligaments due to sudden trauma or overuse. Common sprains include those affecting the scapholunate ligament or the collateral ligaments of the fingers.
    • Tears: More severe damage to ligaments, often requiring surgical intervention.
  3. Tendon Injuries:
    • Tendonitis: Inflammation of tendons due to repetitive use or strain.
    • Tendon Ruptures: Complete tears of tendons such as the flexor or extensor tendons, often resulting from trauma or chronic overuse.
  4. Nerve Injuries:
    • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the median nerve in the wrist, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand.
    • Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow, causing symptoms like tingling and weakness in the hand.
  5. Dislocations:
    • Finger Dislocations: Occur when the bones of a finger are forced out of their normal position, usually due to trauma or sports injuries.
    • Wrist Dislocations: Involve the displacement of wrist bones, often resulting from high-impact trauma.

Diagnosis

Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment of hand and wrist injuries. At Emirates Hospitals Group, our diagnostic approach includes:

  1. Medical History:
    • A thorough review of the patient’s medical history, including details about the injury, symptoms, and any relevant past conditions.
  2. Physical Examination:
    • A comprehensive physical assessment to evaluate the range of motion, tenderness, swelling, and overall functionality of the hand and wrist.
  3. Imaging Studies:
    • X-rays: To identify fractures, dislocations, and other bone-related issues.
    • MRI or CT Scans: To provide detailed images of soft tissues, including ligaments, tendons, and nerves, aiding in the diagnosis of more complex injuries.
  4. Nerve Testing:
    • Electromyography (EMG): To assess nerve function and diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or cubital tunnel syndrome.

Treatment Options

Treatment for hand and wrist injuries depends on the type and severity of the injury. Our clinic offers a range of options:

  1. Non-Surgical Treatments:
    • Rest and Immobilization: Using splints or casts to immobilize the injured area and allow healing.
    • Physical Therapy: Customized rehabilitation programs to restore strength, flexibility, and function.
    • Medications: Pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs to manage pain and swelling.
  2. Surgical Treatments:
    • Fracture Repair: Surgical techniques such as internal fixation or external fixation to stabilize fractures and ensure proper healing.
    • Ligament Reconstruction: Surgical repair or reconstruction of torn ligaments to restore stability and function.
    • Tendon Repair: Surgical intervention to repair ruptured or damaged tendons, restoring movement and strength.
    • Nerve Decompression: Surgical procedures to relieve pressure on compressed nerves, such as carpal tunnel release or cubital tunnel release.
  3. Advanced Therapies:
    • Arthroscopy: Minimally invasive surgery using a small camera and instruments to diagnose and treat joint and soft tissue issues.
