The upper extremity includes the hand, finger, wrist, elbow, and shoulder. These areas can present with pain, tenderness, swelling, numbness, tingling, decreased flexibility or strength, stiffness, bruising and deformity. Symptoms can occur suddenly due to trauma or can progress gradually, due to repetitive stress, overuse, or disease. The problem can be constant or intermittent in nature. Regardless of the cause, damage to the ligaments, tendons, soft tissue, muscles, joints and bones of the upper extremity can result in mild to serious disruption of your work, recreational activities, and everyday tasks causing your quality of life to suffer.
Depending on the problem, upper extremity injuries can be treated non-surgically or surgically. Non-surgical options include physical therapy, draining, medical devices, stretching, rest, ice, compression, elevation, medication (anti-inflammatories, pain relievers), injections (corticosteroid, Xiaflex), activity modification, and immobilization (compressive straps, bracing, splinting, casting). Often times these modalities are extremely effective.
