Football and rugby athletes are at increased risk of finger injuries given the full-contact nature of these sports. Some players may return to play early with protective taping, splinting, and casting. Others require a longer rehabilitation period and prolonged time away from the field. The treating hand surgeon must weigh the benefits of early return to play for the current season and future playing career against the risks of reinjury and long-term morbidity, including post-traumatic arthritis and decreased range of motion and strength. Each player must be comprehensively assessed and managed with an individualized treatment plan.
鉴于足球和橄榄球运动的全接触性质,这些运动的运动员手指受伤风险较高。一些运动员可能通过保护性包扎、夹板固定和石膏固定等方式提前重返赛场。另一些运动员则需要更长的康复期,并且要长时间远离赛场。主治手外科医生必须权衡本赛季和未来职业生涯提前重返赛场的益处与再次受伤和长期发病的风险,包括创伤后关节炎以及活动范围和力量下降。必须对每位运动员进行全面评估,并制定个性化治疗方案进行管理。
