A hand sprain occurs when a ligament in your hand is overstretched or torn. This causes the hand to have impaired stability and movement. The ligaments are the tough, fibrous bands of tissue that connect one bone in the hand to another. Commonly, hand sprains are better known as wrist sprains since this is the main joint in the hand. It can be caused by any pressure, blow, or force that impacts the hand and/or wrist or from an accident twisting the area. When these are damaged, it causes a few symptoms that, when experienced, should prompt you to seek medical attention as soon as you can so that you can treat the injury and prevent further damage. The symptoms of a hand sprain include the following:
- Pain, swelling and bruising in the hand
- Tenderness and warmth around the affected area
- Weakness when moving the hand
- Limited or loss or range of motion in the hand and/or wrist
Once you feel these symptoms after an accident, you may have a sprained hand. The doctor will conduct a physical examination to test your strength and range of motion in the hand, then they may order tests to get images of the bones and/or tissues inside your body such as an X-ray, an MRI scan, a CT scan. These can be telling of a sprain and rule out other possible hand injuries such as a fracture or strain. With the proper treatment, hand sprains can heal within a month or two, depending on the severity and extent of your injury.
