Tendon injuries can disrupt basic hand and wrist functions, often caused by trauma, lacerations, or repetitive strain. These injuries make gripping, lifting, or even writing painful and difficult.
What Causes Tendon Damage?
Some of the most common causes include:
- Deep cuts from glass, knives, or sharp tools
- Sudden trauma from falls or accidents
- Sports-related strain or repetitive overuse
- Tendon inflammation (tendonitis)
If untreated, tendon injuries may lead to weakness or permanent movement restriction.
Signs You Shouldn't Overlook
Pay attention to symptoms such as:
- Inability to bend or straighten fingers or wrist
- Swelling or tenderness in the affected area
- A snapping or popping sensation during movement
- Sudden loss of motion or strength
