A metacarpal fracture is a type of hand fracture occurring in the bones which form the palm of the hand.

Tendons are thick, rope-like structures that connect bone to muscles to allow movement.

Accidental injuries to the fingertips are quite commonplace due to the basic function and sheer frequency with which we use our hands on a daily basis.

Nerves are cells of the body that transmit signals to and from the brain, and they enable us to move our muscles and sense the surrounding environment.

Hand numbness, also known as paresthesia, is a loss of feeling or a tingling sensation in the hands.

Repair of tendon lacerations such as flexor or extensor tendons are common procedures.

Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis are the two most common types of arthritis that affect the hand.

To truly understand what a Sagittal Band Tear is, a basic knowledge of hand anatomy is helpful.

The hand consists of numerous bones, muscles, and ligaments that allow for the dexterity and movement of our hands.

It can cause even the simplest tasks, like gripping or typing, to become a challenge.

This patient sustained a traumatic amputation of his non-dominant left thumb while working on an oil field offshore rig as a roustabout.

Tendons attach the bones in the hand to muscles in the forearm, allowing motion.

The catch all term for vascular problems of the hand is “Vascular Insufficiency,” which refers to a lack of adequate blood supply to the hands.

A carpal boss and ganglion cyst are prime candidates if you’re trying to diagnose a bump on your hand or wrist.

The presentation of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome’s symptoms varies from person to person, but almost always includes wrist pain.

The wrist is made up of 8 small bones (carpals) arranged in two rows of four bones each.

Fortunately, this injury typically improves after just three months, and 85% of Colles fractures have healed to a clinically satisfactory point within 10 years.

When the tendon occupies the wrong space within the sheath or is moved to an extreme degree within this sheath, it is known as subluxation.

A ganglion cyst is a soft-to-firm, round growth located on the wrist joint.

If you’re experiencing persistent pain on the thumb side of your forearm, you may have an overuse condition called intersection syndrome.

Kienböck’s Disease is a condition in which your lunate bone does not receive adequate blood supply.

If you’ve ever noticed a firm bump on the back of your hand near the base of your fingers, you may be dealing with a condition known as metacarpal boss.

Radial tunnel syndrome (RTS) is a condition that causes pain in the forearm and wrist.

Reconstructive wrist surgery is needed when trauma, a development abnormality or disease has led to pain or limitation of function.

Scaphoid fractures account for as many as 80% of all carpal bone fractures.

The ulnar nerve is one of three nerves that provide motor and sensory function to the arm.

Wrist arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure in which a lighted tube less than 2mm in diameter connected to a camera is placed into the wrist joint.

Wrist fractures, more commonly referred to as broken wrists, are a very common occurrence.

The wrist is composed of eight floating bones called carpals.

The biceps brachii muscle is located at the front of the upper arm.

Cubital tunnel syndrome is compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow.

Golfer’s Elbow (medial epicondylitis) is a painful form of elbow tendonitis.

Bursae are fluid filled sacs that reduce friction allowing soft tissues (such as muscles, tendons, or skin) to glide past bony prominences.

Overuse Injuries of the Elbow encompasses any damage produced when a particular motion is repeated without adequate time for the joint and tissues to rest and heal.

Pronator syndrome is a constellation of symptoms caused by the entrapment of the median nerve at the elbow.

Inflammation of the tendons that attach the muscles of the forearm to the outside of the elbow is called Tennis Elbow.

Any animal that has teeth can bite, whether domesticated or wild.

Ganglion cysts or synovial cyst is a benign outgrown mass that usually develops on the back of the wrist.

An arm fracture is a broken or cracked bone in any of the three bones that construct the arm.

Arthritis is a chronic condition that causes pain, stiffness, and limited mobility in the joints.

Ganglion cysts are one of the most common types of hand cysts, accounting for 60% to 70% of soft-tissue masses found in the hand and wrist.

Nerve fibers carry signals from one part of the body to another.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a constellation of symptoms, the hallmark of which is pain out of proportion to an injury, involving an extremity of the body.

Overuse syndromes, repetitive strain injuries, regional musculoskeletal disorders, and repetitive trauma disorders are all synonyms for Cumulative Trauma Disorders.

A forearm fracture is a break involving the bones of the forearm: the radius and the ulna.

Typically found on the tendons or joints of your hands or wrists, ganglion cysts are fluid-filled noncancerous lumps.

The upper extremities and especially the hands are the most common site of human bites.

These tendons are covered by tissue, tenosynovium, that bathes the tendon with a lubricant that facilitates gliding of the tendon through this tight space.

Replantation is the reattachment of a completely severed body part.

However, if sports hand surgery is necessary, he will usually perform minimally invasive surgery to minimize scarring which will allow a quicker recovery.
