What are the most common work-related hand injuries?

Work-related hand injuries are some of the most frequent workplace accidents, especially in industries that involve heavy machinery, repetitive tasks, or manual labor. The most common types include fractures, tendon and ligament injuries, lacerations, crush injuries, burns, and repetitive strain injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Each of these injuries can significantly limit hand function if not properly treated.

Even office-based workers are not immune. Prolonged computer use, improper ergonomics, and repetitive typing can lead to numbness, tingling, and chronic pain in the wrists and fingers. Left unaddressed, these issues can progress to long-term conditions that affect daily activities.

If you’ve sustained a hand injury at work, seeking prompt evaluation from a hand specialist is essential. Contact Badia Hand to Shoulder Center for expert diagnosis and advanced treatment options to restore hand health and function.
