The “Top 6 Common Hand Orthopedic Conditions and How They’re Treated” infographic from OrthoCare Florida offers a clear, accessible guide to understanding frequent hand problems and their management. It starts with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, describing nerve compression in the wrist that causes numbness and pain, typically treated with splinting, steroid injections, or surgery. Trigger Finger is next, detailing the catching or locking of a finger due to tendon sheath inflammation, often managed with rest, injections, or minor release surgery.

Arthritis of the Hand highlights joint pain and stiffness from wear-and-tear or inflammatory types, treated through medications, therapy, splints, or in severe cases, joint reconstruction. De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis focuses on pain at the thumb side of the wrist, managed with activity modification, splints, injections, or surgical release. Fractures of the hand explain broken bones from trauma, treated with immobilization, realignment, or surgical fixation.

Lastly, Tendon Injuries covers lacerations or ruptures that require precise surgical repair and post-op therapy to restore function. With clean visuals and straightforward text, the infographic serves as a practical resource for patients, helping them recognize symptoms, understand treatment options, and prepare for informed discussions with their orthopedic specialist about restoring hand function and reducing pain.
