Hand-Wrist Pain

Hand-Wrist Pain

Hands allow people to perform many functions in daily life, including work, creation, painting, and writing. Fine movements requiring skill, gripping, touching, and sensing are higher-level functions carried out by the hands. The unique anatomical structure of the hand enables these complex movements. Each hand contains 27 bones, numerous muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerve branches. Disorders of these tissues can lead to pain and significant loss of hand function.

Common Hand and Wrist Problems:

• Joint rheumatism
• Osteoarthritis of the joints
