Although hand injuries and conditions are fairly common, they require specialized care to preserve normal function.
Wrist injuries or wrist arthritis can make it difficult to position the hand for tasks—impeding everyday life.
Elbow injuries, over-use, or wear and tear with instability may cause inflammation and radiating pain to occur.
Shoulder injuries can easily compromise both mobility and stability, and lead to increased pain and functional loss.
While fractures and dislocations are common injuries, they often require prompt conservative or surgical management.
