Hand Masses and Bumps 🤙🏼

Masses and nodules on the hands are common and encompass a wide spectrum of conditions. These may include ganglion cysts, lipomas, mucous cysts, and fibrous nodules. Typically, masses can be identified through physical examination but sometimes further imagining such as an MRI is required.. For fluid-filled lesions such as ganglion cysts, aspiration can be an effective first-line treatment, often followed by the application of a compression dressing to reduce recurrence.

For more persistent, symptomatic, or solid lesions, excision may be suggested. Many small, superficial masses can be safely removed in the office setting under local anesthesia, offering a convenient and efficient option with minimal downtime. However, larger, deeper, or complex masses, are more appropriately addressed in a surgery center, where a controlled environment and advanced resources allow for optimal visualization and patient safety. In all cases, excised tissue is typically sent for pathological evaluation to confirm the diagnosis and guide any further care if needed.

Occupational Therapy - Why Is It Important? 🙌🏼

Hand therapy is a specialized type of rehabilitation performed by trained occupational or hand therapists to treat conditions affecting the hands and upper extremities. Certified hand therapists use advanced training to help patients recover function and return to daily activities after injuries such as fractures, tendon or nerve damage, and amputations, as well as conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, and arthritis.

Treatment may include pain management, desensitization, custom splint making, swelling and scar management, and customized exercise programs to improve motion, strength, and dexterity. Therapists also train patients in daily living skills, guide postoperative recovery, and may work with industries to prevent workplace injuries by recommending ergonomic improvements and healthier work practices.

We love our hand therapists we work with! 🫶🏼

🌟 Review of the Week 🌟

“I was a patient of Dr Sagini’s almost 10 years ago & was incredibly happy I was able to find him nearby when yet another hand/elbow problem arose. No wait time (which is unheard of anymore) & everyone on staff was friendly & kind. Dr Sagini takes him time to listen, suggests multiple options to approach treatment, & genuinely cares about his work. He was awesome then, so I know he’ll find a way to fix me again.”

We love when patients trust us with our care not only once, but twice - thank you! 🫶🏼

Health and Wellness - March 2026 Edition 🍀💚

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an emerging regenerative treatment that uses a patient’s own blood to promote healing in musculoskeletal conditions such as tendinitis, ligament injuries, and early arthritis of the upper extremity. After a blood draw, the sample is centrifuged to concentrate platelets—rich in growth factors like PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, and IGF—which are then injected into the injured area under ultrasound guidance. These growth factors help reduce inflammation, stimulate tissue repair, and encourage the formation of new collagen and blood vessels. PRP has shown promising results for chronic tendon conditions such as tennis elbow and rotator cuff tendinopathy, for partial ligament injuries like ulnar collateral ligament sprains, and for early arthritis in joints of the shoulder, elbow, and hand, where it may reduce inflammation and help preserve cartilage. Although preparation methods and protocols vary, ongoing research continues to refine PRP therapy, which is increasingly viewed as a minimally invasive option that harnesses the body’s natural healing processes to restore function and potentially delay more invasive treatments.

Flexor Tendon Injuries ✋🦴

What Is a Flexor Tendon? 🤲🧵🔥
Flexor tendons are strong, cord-like structures that connect the muscles in your forearm to the bones in your fingers. These tendons allow you to bend (flex) your fingers and make a fist. As they travel into the fingers, they pass through small fibrous rings called pulleys, which keep the tendons close to the bone and allow smooth, efficient movement.

What Are Flexor Tendon Injuries? ⚠️✂️
Flexor tendon injuries usually occur from deep cuts on the palm side of the wrist, hand, or fingers. Even if the skin wound appears small, the damage inside can be significant. When a tendon is cut, the ends separate like a stretched rubber band. A partially cut tendon may still allow bending but can cause pain or catching. If completely cut, the finger cannot bend on its own.

Treatment 🧑‍⚕️🛠️
Most complete flexor tendon injuries require surgery to reconnect the tendon ends. The repair must be protected while healing begins.
After surgery:
- A splint and controlled motion program are often required.
- Hand therapy is essential to restore motion and strength.
- Healing takes about three months.
Moving the finger too soon or too forcefully can cause the repair to pull apart. While full motion does not always return, proper surgery and therapy greatly improve function.

Hand Infections – Early Treatment Matters ⚠️🖐️🦠

Hand infections can develop from small cuts, puncture wounds, nail infections, or even animal and human bites. If not treated early, infections can lead to stiffness, loss of strength, tissue damage, joint destruction, or even bone infection.

Don’t Delay Care! ⏳
Some mild infections caught early may improve with rest, warm soaks, elevation, and antibiotics. However, many hand infections require prompt surgical drainage in addition to antibiotics to prevent permanent damage. Waiting even a day or two can significantly worsen the outcome.

Common hand infections include:
• Paronychia (infection around the nail)
• Felon (painful fingertip pulp infection)
• Tendon sheath infections (can cause severe stiffness or tendon rupture)
• Deep space infections (can spread into the palm, wrist, or forearm)
• Bite wound infections (often involve multiple types of bacteria)

🚨 Warning signs to watch for:
Redness, swelling, warmth, throbbing pain, pus, stiffness, finger held in a bent position, or severe pain with movement.

If you suspect a hand infection, seek medical care promptly. Early, aggressive treatment helps preserve motion, strength, and overall hand function.
