Closed tendon injuries of the hand and wrist in the athlete.
Evaluation and treatment of closed tendon injuries in the athlete is usually fairly straightforward if seen in the acute stages. These usually respond well in most cases to nonoperative treatment; a small percentage require initial operative treatment, however. In most cases, continued participation in sports is possible during treatment as long as protective splinting is allowed.
