What are hand injuries?

Our hands are the most commonly used part of our body at work and at home. When an injury occurs to any area of the hand, it is going to affect our productivity. These injuries can affect our wrist, hand area, or fingers. Some of the injuries include:

1. Carpal tunnel syndrome (a repetitive stress injury)
2. Injured metacarpal
3. Navicular bone fracture
4. Ulnar fracture
5. Broken hands
6. Broken wrists
7. Broken fingers
8. Torn tendons
9. Dislocated wrists
10. Lacerations
11. Amputations
12. Crush injuries

What causes workplace hand injuries?

Workplace hand injuries happen in a variety of ways, and not all of them are expected. Some of the most common ways these injuries occur include:

1. A worker trying to break their fall
2. Hands getting jammed in a steering wheel in a crash
3. Cuts or punctures from a knife
4. Amputations due to sharp objects
5. Fractures due to falling objects
6. Repetitive motions causing repetitive stress injuries

How will these injuries affect my daily life?

Some of these injuries may only require rest for them to heal, but that will still result in some medical bills and missed work. For serious hand injuries, surgery and physical therapy may be required. In the worst cases, a hand injury victim may not be able to return to their jobs or have to transfer to another job. These injuries can also affect your ability to perform tasks around your home and your ability to drive.
