Urgent Hand and Wrist Injuries

Lacerations

Fractures

Contusions

Dislocations

Lacerations

A cut or tear in the skin and/or muscle that is typically caused by a sharp object, such as a knife or a broken piece of glass. It is crucial to receive emergency medical attention for a laceration injury in order to thoroughly clean and dress the wound to prevent infection. A laceration hand or arm injury can also cause damage to the nerves and tendons, which will require immediate assessment and treatment by a skilled hand surgeon.

Fractures

Broken bones are some of the most common hand or arm injuries we treat at Hand & Wrist Urgent Care. There are numerous types of fractures that can occur as a result of sudden, immense pressure on a bone or due to repetitive motion stress on a bone, known as a stress fracture. Common types of fracture include: Displaced Fracture – When the bone is no longer in alignment as a result of the break and must be realigned in order to heal correctly. This type includes open or compound fractures in which the broken bone pierces through the skin. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to realign the bones and secure the bone pieces with temporary plates and screws.Non-Displaced Fracture – The break does not alter the alignment of the bone and may require only immobilization with a cast to ensure a successful recovery.

Contusions

A contusion or bruise is a soft tissue injury that is typically caused by a blunt force that does not penetrate the skin. The injury results in painful swelling and discoloration. Depending on the severity of the contusion, rest, ice, compression, and elevation may be all that is necessary, however, it is vital for a skilled hand surgeon to evaluate the injury to determine whether more advanced treatment is required.

Dislocations

A dislocation is a type of joint injury in which two or more bones are forced out of their normal position. Fingers can be dislocated when playing sports or other activities where falling or accidentally striking another object occurs. Dislocations can also be caused by a hard impact, such as in a vehicle accident.
