Tackling A Complicated Hand Injury & Finger Amputation & Fracture

Discover the intricacies of hand therapy with our expert as we delve into the complexities of hand injuries, rehabilitation, and regaining optimal function. In this video, we explore the case of a patient who underwent an amputation and suffered a severe fracture, leaving visible scars. Despite our best efforts to avoid it, surgical intervention became necessary, including the release of three key structures. https://handtherapysecrets.com/looking-for-mentorship-in-hand-therapy/

One critical aspect often overlooked is the presence of scarring and adhesions in various locations, even when there isn't a visible cut. As a therapist, we need to be skilled at detecting these issues by touch. We address the significance of scarring, fascia, and muscle imbalances, which can lead to persistent hand pain.

We also discuss the importance of evaluating the hand comprehensively, including joint alignment, muscle and tendon movement, and ligament flexibility. The ligaments, often forgotten, play a crucial role in maintaining stability and passive motion in the hand.

Our goal is to help you, as an occupational therapist or certified hand therapist, understand how all these factors interplay in complex hand cases, whether you're working to avoid surgery or striving for the best post-surgery outcomes.
