26
Nerve Lesions | Ease Factors
- NSAIDs | - Splint
27
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome | History
- repetitive trauma/overuse of wrist with wrist flex/ext | - night pain
28
Tendonitis | History
-over use of thumb/wrist (grip)
29
Dequervain | History
- progressive inflammation of tendon sheaths of post wrist muscles - history of DM or hypothyroid - creak in wrist
30
Boutonnier | History
-closed trauma to extensor tendon
31
Mallet | History
- jammed finger | - unable to straighten DIP
32
Ligament Injury | History
UCL Sprain: common injury in athletics (game keeper's thumb); can be acute when there is direct blow to thumb into hyperextension and abd at MCP -repeated trauma of valgus forces to thumb
33
TFCC | History
- hear pop at wrist - overuse injury due to chronic rotational loading - FOOSH on supinated hand - painful click with wrist motion
34
OA | History
- more common in women | - 45 years or older
35
RA | History
- Systemic inflammatory disease that damages soft tissue and articular surfaces of joint - women>men - hands common - ulnar drift - swan neck/boutonnier deformity
36
Raynaud's | History
- women>men - cold makes pain worse - blanching of fingers followed by redness - complain of being cold all the time -caused by vasospasm of distal vessels in hand/feet leading to decreased blood supply to fingers
