Southern Medicine: Sports Medicine Talk on Hand and Upper Extremity Part II
Description
Closed tendon injuries, dislocations and fractures are among the more common sports related hand injuries. Due to initial swelling and pain, these injuries may sometimes be deceptively difficult to diagnose. Often effective treatment is relatively simple and nonoperative but must be instituted in a timely manner in order to minimize complications. It is also important to recognize when surgical referral is required. Dr. David Netscher discusses several topics, including:
-- Phalangeal and metacarpal fractures
-- MP and PIP joint dislocations
-- Closed tendon injuries
-- Tendinopathies
