Hand injuries in athletes are very common and usually do not prevent active participation in sports. For this reason, long-term permanent disability and permanent loss of function may develop if these injuries are not recognized and treated properly. The majority of metacarpal and phalangeal joint injuries respond well to closed aggressive early treatment, followed by intensive therapy and protective splinting, which allow the athlete to continue his or her sport participation without the undesirable effects of long-term or permanent loss of function to the hand.
运动员手部受伤非常常见，通常并不妨碍其积极参与体育运动。因此，如果这些损伤未得到正确的识别和治疗，可能会导致长期的永久性残疾和功能丧失。大多数掌骨和指关节损伤通过早期积极的闭合治疗、随后的强化治疗和保护性夹板固定，能取得良好疗效，这使得运动员能够继续参与运动，而不会出现手部长期或永久性功能丧失的不良影响。
