How Mental Health Can Affect Recovery from a Complex Traumatic Hand Injury
Complex traumatic hand injuries have been identified as stressful and life-changing events. Given the importance of the ability to use the hand in all aspects of life, individuals with complex traumatic hand injuries may experience serious consequences in physical, psychological, and overall social wellbeing. Current research has described the effects of complex traumatic hand injuries including, but not limited to, mental health issues that can limit functional outcomes.
How to Treat a Sprained Finger

7 hand exercises for carpal tunnel syndrome with pictures

Carpal Tunnel vs. Arthritis: Similarities and Differences
When your wrist or hand starts to tingle and burn, it can be difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the pain, whether it’s a result of carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis. The anatomy of the hand is a tight space, and there are a lot of joints and nerves that can become swollen or pinched. Carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis are similar conditions that can both result from overuse of the wrist and hands.
Description of a new surgical approach for Elbow Arthroplasty: Selective Triceps-On Medial Paraolecranon (STOMP) Approach
Surgical approaches for total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) are broadly divided into two groups; “triceps-off” and “triceps-on” approaches. Traditional “triceps-off” approaches provide excellent visualization for TEA; however, they carry a risk of triceps failure and require triceps protecting rehabilitation protocols. Triceps-on approaches have the advantage of preservation of triceps function, yet present technical challenges for access to and preparation of the bony surfaces of the proximal ulna and radius.
Ulnar Nerve Management in Complex Elbow Dislocations: A Retrospective Monocentric Study
The ulnar nerve’s unique anatomy makes it vulnerable to complex elbow dislocations. Depending on the nature of the injury, the clinical treatment and outcomes related to the nerve may vary. Unfortunately, the current literature provides limited and fragmented information on managing the ulnar nerve and the incidence of neuropathy in complex elbow dislocations. This study aimed to determine the occurrence of ulnar nerve pain and its relationship with transposition.
7 Simple Wrist Strengthening Exercises
Wrist strengthening exercises make the wrist muscles stronger, and improve the flexibility and range of motion of your wrist joints and tendons. People who may benefit from wrist-strengthening exercises include athletes such as boxers, gymnasts, and tennis players. Workers at risk of carpal tunnel syndrome also may benefit from exercise to prevent injury.

The 5 Best Carpal Tunnel Braces, Editor-Tested and Expert-Approved
Long days of working at a keyboard or doing other repetitive motions with your hands can put a lot of strain on your wrists. And if you’re in the approximately 6% of the adult population that suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), you probably know all too well the pain and numbness in your hands, wrists, and arms that results from compression of the median nerve (which runs through a narrow passageway in the wrist called—you guessed it—the carpal tunnel).
