¿Cuándo debe un trabajador acudir a un cirujano de mano por una lesión laboral?
An employee should consult a hand surgeon if pain, swelling, or stiffness persists after a workplace injury. Additional warning signs include numbness, tingling, loss of grip strength, visible deformity, or open wounds that may involve tendons or nerves. Some injuries, like fractures or tendon ruptures, require immediate surgical attention to prevent long-term disability. Others, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, benefit from early evaluation to avoid worsening symptoms. If your hand injury is affecting your ability to work or complete daily tasks, reach out to Badia Hand to Shoulder Center. Their specialized team can determine the best treatment approach to help you recover quickly and safely.
