An Injury Not to Ignore: Hand & Finger Fractures in Young Athletes

An Injury Not to Ignore: Hand & Finger Fractures in Young Athletes

by | Jan 29, 2019 | Fractures

Believe it or not, hand and finger injuries in kids, especially young athletes are very common. In fact, almost 20 percent of the injuries we see in the Fracture Clinic are hand related injuries. For children, these injuries can occur in a number of ways. For athletes, some of the more common mechanisms we see are from a finger getting struck by a ball, a hand getting stepped on or a finger getting caught in a jersey. While most injuries to the hand or fingers will get better with some time, rest and immobilization, others may require more extensive care or even a surgery to correct alignment or restore function. As the parent of a young athlete, it is important to know when to seek medical treatment.

Recognizing a hand injury in a child is not always easy and may require the attention from an expert who specializes in caring for patients whose bones are still developing. Sometimes, X-rays can appear normal and exam findings can be subtle making it easy to miss or ignore injuries to the hand. If rest is not healing the injury, it is important to know the signs and symptoms where being evaluated by a pediatric specialist is necessary.

Some general “redflags” with finger injuries include:

  • Hearing or feeling a “pop” or “crack” at the time of the injury.
  • Seeing significant swelling immediately after the injury occurs.
  • Noticing differences compared to the same finger on the other hand. Seeing bleeding or drainage at or around the nailbed.
  • Inability to move, straighten or bend the finger or a joint more than two days after the injury.

Gerad Montgomery, M.S.N., FNP-C, tells us that most pediatric hand and finger injuries can be managed with immobilization in a cast or splint. However, when there is significant displacement of fracture, injuries to ligaments and tendons or damage to the nailbed, surgery may be needed.

Advice for parents of young athletes

  • Teach proper techniques with catching, hitting or throwing a ball.
  • Discourage grabbing a shirt or jersey in fast-moving games like football or tag.
  • Encourage athletes to be aware of surroundings during team sports.

  • Insist that athletes wear proper protective sports equipment when appropriate.
  • Never ignore an injury to the hand or fingers. Though it may be tempting to “push through the pain” and keep playing, these injuries can have serious consequences if they are overlooked. Don’t wait to have it evaluated by a medical professional.

D CEO: Scottish Rite’s Frisco Facility is Open for Business

D CEO: Scottish Rite’s Frisco Facility is Open for Business

The Scottish Rite for Children Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center started accepting its first patients this week, and the entire building is a testament to movement and recovery.

Color-coded floors, bands of shifting color on the facade, colorful spiral staircases, and dynamic floor and wall art are designed to reflect movement and encourage children toward recovery. HKS designed the center and partnered with general contractor Beck in construction of the building.

Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children is building its second facility after 96 years in its Dallas location. Located at the corner of Lebanon Road and the Dallas North Tollway in Frisco, the facility will mirror the population boom in the northern suburbs and fit in well with other athletic facilities in the area such as The Star and FC Dallas. Conversations about the new center began in 2014, with construction breaking ground in 2016.

According to Scottish Rite, around 25 percent of their patient families live north of Dallas, and the ambulatory surgery facility will be an extension of the Dallas campus and will offer clinic visits and orthopedic day surgeries for children.

The five-story building offers views of Lake Lewisville from the upper floors, and will include 345,000 square feet of space, which includes one and a half floors of unused space so that the healthcare giver can grow with the area. If desired, the facility can be a full service hospital in the future.

Imaging will include MRI and three X-ray units with potential for a CT scan and additional MRI and X-rays. The second floor clinics are positioned around the imaging for convenience, and include a walk in clinic for fractures and centrally located admin space separated from patient rooms. There are two operating rooms with room for more, an infusion lab and space for other ancillary clinics. Surgeries will begin November, and families will be able to wait in apartment style family waiting rooms with furniture and sibling play areas.

The physical therapy gym is more reminiscent of a professional gym than a healthcare facility, and it will be accompanied by a Movement Science Lab built for sport-specific training and testing to focus on sports injury or general orthopedic rehabilitation.

The building also includes a conference center with smaller meeting rooms, a 150-seat auditorium, and courtyard that will serve community needs as well as academic gatherings. The adjacent U-11 soccer field can be used for group rehab sessions, injury prevention demonstrations and coaching clinics, and is accompanied by a playground with adaptive play equipment (which should be complete in December) and a half-mile walking and running trail that ties in to local trails.

Scottish Rite anticipates more than 22,000 clinical visits in year one for sports medicine, orthopedics and a fracture clinic, and 13,000 for physical therapy. Around 50 staff relocated from Scottish Rite’s Plan facility, while 30 relocated from the Dallas campus and 50 new staff were hired for the center.

“We are on the forefront of what is happening,” says Jeremy Howell, Vice President, North Campus at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children.”We want to focus on the growing child.”

Scottish Rite continues the growth of Frisco’s sports medicine healthcare facilities, joining the Baylor Scott & White Sports Therapy & Research at The Star, which opened earlier this year.
