A wide range of hand and wrist injuries occur in today's recreational and elite athletes and account for 3% to 9% of all sports injuries. The onus is on the physician to discriminate between injuries that can be managed with an early return to sport, and those injuries that place the athlete at risk of further injury if they are not managed aggressively from the outset. The physician and the athlete must understand the balance between safe, early return to sport, and prompt surgical treatment that prevents late disability.
在当今的业余和精英运动员中，手部和腕部损伤种类繁多，占所有运动损伤的3%至9%。医生有责任区分哪些损伤可以通过早期恢复运动来处理，哪些损伤如果从一开始不积极处理，会使运动员面临进一步受伤的风险。医生和运动员必须明白安全、早期恢复运动与及时进行手术治疗以防止后期残疾之间的平衡。
