Median nerve injury is a condition in which the median nerve, which runs from the brachial plexus to the hand, becomes injured or compressed, leading to motor and sensory dysfunction. It can manifest as pain, tingling, muscle weakness and loss of sensation in the area innervated by this nerve, particularly in the hand and fingers. Causes of damage can include more than just mechanical trauma.

Carpal tunnel syndrome rehabilitation is an important part of treatment, both conservative and after possible surgery, aiming to reduce symptoms, improve hand and wrist function and prevent recurrence. The rehabilitation process can involve various methods and techniques, depending on the severity of the condition, but carpal tunnel exercises are also important.

Skier's thumb is an injury that can occur not only during winter sports, such as skiing as the name suggests, but also in other disciplines. Goalkeepers in team sports or volleyball players are particularly at risk of this type of injury.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a condition resulting from prolonged compression of the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. Symptoms generally affect the dominant hand, which is regularly overstrained by repetitive activities.

The scaphoid bone is one of the eight carpal bones and is the largest bone in the proximal row. A scaphoid fracture is the most common wrist fracture, accounting for approximately 70% of all wrist fractures. This injury typically occurs during a fall onto an extended wrist, commonly referred to as a "fall on an outstretched hand."

Boutonniere deformity is a condition commonly associated with damage to the central slip of the extensor tendon of the finger. What does this deformity involve, and what treatment options are available for joint issues in the fingers?

A wrist sprain is a very common injury. It primarily affects young individuals engaged in sports, especially extreme sports, and older people, who are more prone to such injuries during slips or falls on slippery surfaces. Wrist pain can result from stretching or tearing of ligaments. The most commonly injured ligaments are the scapholunate ligament and the lunotriquetral ligament.

The development of civilization has made it easier for people to function, but has also led to the development of new disease entities, such as the wrist ganglion described below. The profile of activity - and, consequently, the parts of the body most heavily engaged each day - has changed. Daily work in front of a computer, repeatedly hitting the keyboard or cash register, or playing sports (such as...

De Quervain's disease, also known as De Quervain's syndrome, is otherwise known as clenching tendonitis of the first extensor compartment of the hand. This compartment is located near the styloid process of the radius bone and contains the tendons of the long thumb and short thumb extensor muscles along with their sheaths.

Palmar tendon contracture, known as Dupuytren's disease, is characterized by a benign proliferation of the palmar tendon with subsequent flexion contracture of the fingers. The etiology of the disease is unclear. A number of factors are listed as contributing to the disease, including genetic conditions. It can occur familially, and is more common in people with diabetes, epilepsy, liver disease and...
