What causes finger sprains and ligament injuries?
Sprains (ligament tears) come from many causes and are common among manual workers and athletes but just about anyone can suffer one.
What are the symptoms?
Swelling and pain
How to diagnose it?
A physical examination and X-rays are essential to accurately diagnose hand fractures and guide treatment.
Functional treatment
Most of the time, the finger needs to be immobilized in the proper position for a very short period of time followed by carefully supervised hand therapy to prevent stiffness.
Surgery
If the joint is unstable, it may need to be surgically fixed.
