Injuries to the hand and upper extremities are very common throughout all
age groups. The upper extremities account for everything from the shoulder
to the fingertips. This includes all the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons,
muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. Treating these conditions may be as
simple as physical therapy or may involve intricate procedures such as
reconstructive surgery.
Hand conditions may be:
Chronic, such as tendonitis and carpal tunnel
Trauma-related, including sprains, fractures, and dislocations
Arthritic, such as be degenerative, inflamed, or trauma-related arthritis.
