Hand & Wrist

The thumb has two bones – the distal phalange, placed between the tip and the knuckle, and the proximal phalange extending between the knuckle and the base.

When people injure their hand or wrist and are concerned they may have a fracture or other injury, they often seek treatment immediately in the emergency department.

A Jammed Finger is a medical condition that affects the PIP (proximal interphalangeal) joint. The PIP joint is a type of hinge joint that allows the finger to move.

Tendons join the muscles to the bone and are responsible for the various hand movements. The tendons located on top of the fingers are known as extensor tendons and help to straighten the fingers.

TFCC or the triangular fibrocartilage complex is placed in the little finger of the wrist.

The wrist joint connects the two bones of the forearm (ulnar and radius) to the smaller bones of the hand.
