Hand and Wrist Injuries
Falling onto the hand or getting the hand stuck in certain positions can cause damage to the ligaments supporting the base of the thumb and fingers. In severe cases they can be completely ruptured and require surgery to repair them.
Partial tears are best treated with a removable splint to provide rest and physiotherapy once healing is well under way to restore range of movement and function.
Like all ligament injuries Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation will promote best possible recovery. Due to the difficulty in resting hands this can take some time to settle fully.
