Ligament injuries in the hand and wrist occur due to overstretching or tearing, often during falls or sports-related trauma. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and joint instability.

Mild sprains can be treated with rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), and splinting. Complete ligament tears or those causing persistent instability may require surgical repair or reconstruction.

Surgical treatment restores joint stability and prevents long-term dysfunction. Most patients return to full activity after a structured rehabilitation period.
