TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Acute hand injuries in athletes JO - Physician and sportsmedicine A1 - Rosenbaum, Yoseph A. A1 - Awan, Hisham M. SP - 151 EP - 158 VL - 45 IS - 2 N2 - Hand and wrist injuries in athletes are common, representing between 3% and 25% of all sports injuries. As many as a quarter of all sports injuries involve the hand or wrist. We review the recent literature regarding acute hand injuries in athletes based on the structures involved - bone, muscle/tendon, ligament, and neurovascular - including diagnosis and pathophysiology of these injuries, focusing on athlete-specific facets of treatment, and when available, opinions on return to play.
