title: Office management of athletic injuries of the hand and wrist.
abstract: Most common hand injuries occurring in athletics can be simply treated and the athlete returned to participation at an early date. Delayed or inadequate treatment may result in an unacceptable outcome, including permanent deformity. The injured athlete must be carefully examined, treated, and monitored until fully rehabilitated.
