Wrist pain can develop for many reasons, but one of the most common patterns of progressive wrist arthritis seen by hand and wrist specialists is a condition known as SLAC wrist
A metacarpal fracture is one of the most common hand fractures I see in practice. These injuries can occur in athletes, workers, and anyone who suffers a fall, a crush injury, or direct trauma to the hand. Although many fractures can heal well without surgery, some require more careful intervention to restore hand function, protect range of motion, and support a safe return to work, exercise, or sport.
Persistent wrist pain can interfere with strength, motion, and the ability to perform routine activities. In clinical practice, this type of pain often reflects underlying structural problems that may not be fully identified through initial imaging or conservative care.
Finger fractures are among the most common hand fractures, and while a broken finger is often assumed to be minor, these injuries can significantly affect hand function if not properly treated. In clinical practice, even a seemingly simple fractured finger can lead to long-term stiffness, deformity, or loss of motion when alignment is not carefully restored.
