A sprained finger occurs when the ligaments that connect and support the bones and joints of the finger are damaged. Sprained fingers are very common and can be very painful, swollen, and difficult to move.

Results from this study indicated high school athletes were at risk for hand and wrist injuries. Findings also showed injury rates and patterns varied by sport and gender, demonstrating a need for sport-specific prevention efforts.

Results from this study indicated arthroscopic subacromial decompression and arthroscopy only both yielded better outcomes for shoulder pain and function among patients who had subacromial pain and intact rotator cuff tendons vs. no treatment. However, the differences between the three groups were n...

Although both anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty improved patient outcomes at 2-year follow-up, anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty more reliably improved range of motion, according to results.

Despite concerns about reverse shoulder arthroplasty in younger patients, the procedure has been shown to restore function and improve pain in advanced cases of severe rotator cuff deficiency with associated arthritis and/or bone loss, as well as complex fractures and fracture dislocations, accordin...

Results published in Arthroscopy showed patients with a higher median weight and BMI who underwent arthroscopic shoulder surgery had an increased risk of developing lateral femoral cutaneous nerve palsy.

Despite inferior baseline patient-reported outcomes, patients who underwent rotator cuff repair with concomitant biceps procedure had greater improvement in outcomes at 1-year postoperatively compared with patients who underwent rotator cuff repair alone, according to results.

Two-stage reimplantation is the most accepted approach for chronic infection. It involves component removal, debridement, placement of an antibiotic spacer, IV antibiotics and placing the new implant typically 8 weeks later

Long head of the biceps tendon pathology was more likely to occur among large and massive rotator cuff tears and tears that involved the subscapularis, according to results published in Arthroscopy.

New research casts doubt on the true effectiveness of a common type of surgery used to ease shoulder pain.
