Common Causes of Wrist, Hand and Thumb Injuries

Bone Fractures of the Scaphoid and Distal Radius
Symptoms of scaphoid and distal radial fractures include bruising, tenderness, swelling, loss of wrist motion, and mild pain and weakness when you try to grip an object. This condition is often caused after a fall onto an outstretched hand (FOOSH), which usually occurs when trying to break a fall.

Wrist Osteoarthritis
In osteoarthritis, the cartilage worsens between your joints, causing the protective layer between the bones to gradually fade away. This leads to bones rubbing up against each other, resulting in joint inflammation, pain, stiffness, ache, instability, and a limited range of motion. Old age, hand injury, or overuse and strain are common causes of osteoarthritis. People born with defective cartilage or have a family member with degenerative joint pain are also more likely to develop this condition.
Collapse
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Tingling, pain, numbness, and burning sensations in your hand and thumb are common causes of carpal tunnel syndrome. It occurs when pressure is applied to the median nerve, causing muscle weakness and a loss of grip and coordination in the fingers. Aside from genetics, risk factors include repetitive, forceful hand motion, pregnancy, and other health conditions. Aircraft mechanics, appliance and automobile manufacturers, process engineers, and dentists have a higher risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome.

Tendon Sheath Inflammation (Tenosynovitis or Tendinitis)
Tenosynovitis is the inflammation of a tendon, which affects the protective tendon sheath filled with lubricating fluid. When inflamed, this causes redness, joint tenderness, pain, swelling and stiffness located on the back of the hand that extends throughout the fingers and thumbs. It is commonly found in people who are exposed to repetitive movements, like those who play racket sports, office workers, gardeners, musicians, carpenters, and dentists.
