Sports-specific injuries of the hand and wrist

R Glenn Gaston et al. Clin Sports Med. 2015 Jan.

Abstract

This article provides a philosophic overview of the management of athletes at all levels from high school to professional. It further reviews sports-specific injury patterns and position-specific injury patterns. This aspect is crucial, as many injuries may be relatively common for specific sports but rare in the general population, so recognition of these injuries requires a high degree of suspicion. The guiding principles of management are also discussed.
