Question 1

what is the definition or description of: hand and finger injuries?

Accepted Answer

More Specific?: Not sure what you are looking for. The hand and fingers are the most commonly injured parts of our body, as we use them for everything. Injuries range from simple sprains and strains to serious lacerations and amputations.

Question 2

hand and finger injuries is confirmed - what treatments are best?

Accepted Answer

Hand surgeon: For any hand and finger injury i would strongly recommend an evaluation from a fellowship trained hand surgeon. This will provide you with the best possible treatment options.

Question 3

i have finger deformity in right hand of absence of middle phalanx & joint and a severe finger fracture in the distal phalanx and joint, what treatment options do i have please ? who should i ask a plastic surgeon or orthopedic for surgery ?

Accepted Answer

: A surgeon would need to see the hand to evaluate what sort of surgeries are possible. Your best bet would be to see an actual hand surgeon, if possible. Good luck.

Question 4

can i rupture testicle just by squeezing/pressing it pretty hard with my fingers or hand?what type of injury is usually caused by  it? if not rupture

Accepted Answer

Being obsessed?: This Q has been answered. If from the same inquirer, he could be obsessed or mesmerized by it. In general, if a squeeze does not result in bleeding leading to tense swelling inside the capsule of testis, that kind of squeeze will leave no long-term adverse effect, but who would do that to himself except having a deceived or distorted belief in recurrently squeezing testicle may enhance virility.

Question 5

i have a small internal bleeding injury in my hand. some people say this could cause severe consequences, is this true? location:between the finger next to the thumb on my right hand.

Accepted Answer

If : If you merely bruised your hand, typically the body will "resorb" or take back the blood and there will be no long term consequences. If there were other issues like increased pressure from bleeding or infection related to the bleeding or if there were associated injuries etc.. That would have to be dealt with. But as you describe it "small" bleeding would not typically be a problem.

If you have any unexpected symptoms see your doctor.

Question 6

the end of my middle finger hurts when cold water gets on it like an exposed tooth root would. it doesnt hurt any other time. i work with my hands but dont have any injuries. what would cause that. started about 4 days ago?

Accepted Answer

: If the finger turns pale or blue when it hurts, and becomes cool to the touch, you may have Raynaud's syndrome (google it for more information). Often it is triggered by cold temperatures. Most cases are not serious and don't need treatment, but Raynaud's can be serious or can sometimes be due to other health problems. If this seems likely as you read more about it, discuss with your doctor.

Question 7

i have pain/stiffness in all my finger joints aside from my thumb in both hands. i can't identify any cause such as an injury or overuse. it was a sudden, unexplained onset 2 weeks ago. it's worse in the morning. should i go to my doc?

Accepted Answer

: I recommend consulting a rheumatologist to get a handle on what could be onset of rheumatoid arthritis. Appropriate testing will be ordered and proper treatment options reviewed.

Question 8

what would cause my fingertip to turn purple,swollen hand and finger with no injury.but i do have poor circulation in hands and feet.been like this for almost a week?

Accepted Answer

: In the absence of injury these could be signs of an autoimmune disorder causing disturbance in circulation of oxygenated blood to your hand and finger.  I would consult a rheumatologist who may also want you to be evaluated by a vascular specialist.

Question 9

will a broken elbow (vertical fracture on the radial head) cause pain and weakness in wrist/hand? or could it be a whole other injury? ive been having a hard time moving my hand and wrist. fingers have been swollen and i cant move my hand palm up?

Accepted Answer

: A nerve injury due to a broken elbow can cause wrist and hand weakness but it should not cause the swollen fingers. You probably have a hand injury at the same time. You should be re-examined and may need to have X-ray of the wrist &amp; hand done.

Question 10

can a finger injury that happened five years ago still cause the finger to be bent and not straightened anymore? my right ring finger is still bent at the middle knuckle?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, relatively common, injuries may result in healing with incomplete range of motion recovery due to multiple structures being possibly involved including nerves, vessels, tendons and ligaments, to name a few.
