Yes, hand fractures are one of the most common injuries sustained in workplace accidents. Construction workers, machinists, and employees who handle heavy objects are especially at risk of crush injuries or falls that lead to broken bones in the hand or fingers.
A fracture may cause immediate pain, swelling, and inability to move the hand normally. Without proper treatment, bones may heal incorrectly, leading to deformity and impaired function. Advanced imaging is often required to confirm the diagnosis and plan treatment.
If you suspect a hand fracture from a workplace accident, don’t delay. Contact Badia Hand to Shoulder Center, where orthopedic specialists can provide advanced fracture care to restore alignment and mobility.
