Your hands and wrists are marvels of engineering, allowing you to perform countless tasks with precision and ease. These complex structures are made up of 27 bones, numerous joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels. Each finger has 3 bones, while the thumb has 2, and the palm boasts 5. The wrist, connecting your hand to your forearm, is comprised of 8 bones.
From simple tasks like holding a cup or using your phone to complex activities like playing sports or surgery, your hands and wrists are essential for daily living. Unfortunately, any injury or condition affecting them can significantly impact your ability to function, reducing productivity, hindering your quality of life, and even causing disability in severe cases.
Hand and wrist problems can arise from various factors, including repetitive motions, trauma, inflammation, and degeneration. Taking these conditions seriously and seeking prompt medical attention is crucial. Early intervention can prevent further damage and improve your overall outcome. Delaying treatment can lead to chronic pain, loss of function, and even permanent disability, making management and recovery more challenging.
