Hand injury

Damage to the hands occurs most often when the fall: under the weight of the body weight, a fracture, dislocation, sprain may occur . At sloppy use of piercing-cutting objects there are cuts of hands, differing in depth and roughness of the edges of the wound. Rheumatological and degenerative diseases, tumors, lesions of nerves and muscles, birth defects - these types of injuries affect our upper limbs. To protect yourself from injuries, you need to know the reasons for their occurrence and be able to protect yourself from trouble.

The most common shoulder injury is dislocation, the reason for this is a weak ligament apparatus. With such a trauma, the joint can be simply corrected, but then the probability of a repeated dislocation will increase exponentially. After dislocation, the victim becomes constrained in movements, he is careful not only to raise his hand upward or to lift it sharply, to lift a large weight. Complex dislocation of the shoulder is treated surgically, by fixing the head of the humerus.

Human elbow is often prone to bruises. The radial nerve, passing through this part of the hand, causes a sharp flash of pain, as if from an electric shock. Contusions of the elbow are unpleasant, but not dangerous.

Wrist can hurt those people who work for a long time at the computer. It is necessary to knead the joints of the hands during prolonged typing on the keyboard. Also, wrists are prone to fractures and dislocations. Brush surgery deals with the treatment of scaphoid and semilunar bone, a frequent trauma is the periloonal dislocation of the hand. Such injuries are found in people engaged in martial arts or extreme sports, so it is always necessary to strengthen this part of the body with special wristbands.

Carpal surgery most often distinguishes traumas: fractures of fingers, fractures of metacarpal bones that are in the palms, deep cuts. And they arise most often in stupidity, in inexperienced fighters, or in an unfortunate accident. Such injuries are very difficult to plaster, special tires are applied for their treatment. Treatment of hand injuries is a very complex and lengthy process, so you should be as attentive to your health as possible, and avoid the occurrence of injuries.

If the injury still occurred, you need to give the victim first aid (sterilize the wound with hydrogen peroxide, apply a bandage, a tire) and immediately call a doctor.
