Fingertip injuries are the most common type of hand injury and are responsible for 20% of all ER visits. Proper management of these injuries is critical to restore functional hand use and return patients to unrestricted activity performance.
This course will help viewers develop a greater understanding of types of fingertip injuries and anatomical structures involved as well as teach viewers how to distinguish between various treatment options based on injury variants. Wound healing strategies based upon specific patient presentation are explored and options to integrate appropriate therapeutic management throughout the course of treatment are presented. In this course, strategies to prioritize protective options, wound care, and desensitization techniques to maximize patient outcomes are emphasized.
This course will help occupational and physical therapists working with patients with fingertip injuries in the outpatient or inpatient setting develop strategies to facilitate successful patient outcomes.

Fractures of the hand and digits compose the highest incidence of upper extremity fractures, and account for 21% of all workplace hand injuries. These injuries can result in significant functional loss due to residual stiffness and pain.
This course examines medical and surgical management as well as therapy strategies to protect, mobilize, and optimize functional outcomes. Therapeutic interventions through each of the phases of healing are demonstrated, as well as the use of orthoses to facilitate healing and restore digital motion and functional use.
This course is applicable to occupational and physical therapists working in outpatient and inpatient settings, with patients with hand and digital fractures in all phases of treatment, as well as to therapists looking for intervention and orthosis strategies to maximize outcomes.

Digital dislocations are common hand injuries that can have significant functional consequences if not properly addressed and rehabilitated. In this course, the anatomical structures involved in various types of digital dislocations are examined. Potential conservative and operative management indicators for digital dislocation are also discussed. Through this course, the therapist will learn to integrate safe motion parameters for conservative and postoperative management of digital dislocations as well as formulate strategies to advance treatment based on patient precautions, tolerance, and performance. Appropriate orthoses to manage various types of digital dislocations are discussed and demonstrated.
This course is recommended for occupational and physical therapists, in an outpatient or inpatient setting, looking to improve their ability to maximize patient outcomes from acute interventions to return to work and sports activities.

Upper extremity injuries make up the largest category of occupational injuries requiring days missed from work, and these injuries create significant clinical challenges. This course examines potential impacted structures involved in upper extremity traumatic injuries, as well as management options. The presentation emphasizes factors that determine the ability to commence early motion or require immobilization of an injured structure. Recommendations for safe motion parameters are illustrated based on structures involved and surgical management. This course also prioritizes orthosis needs to provide protection and permit safe movement of injured structures and develops treatment plan priorities through case studies involving upper extremity traumatic injury. This course is recommended for occupational and physical therapists working in outpatient or inpatient settings, seeking strategies for the management of patients with traumatic hand injuries.
