Wrist and hand conditions commonly seen in occupational health include carpal tunnel syndrome, De Quervain's tenosynovitis, wrist sprains, ganglion cysts, osteoarthritis, and non-specific pain. Carpal tunnel syndrome involves median nerve compression, causing numbness and weakness, often treated with splints and NSAIDs. De Quervain's presents with pain over the radial wrist and is managed with rest and thumb splints. Wrist sprains result from ligament injuries, requiring imaging and conservative care. Ganglion cysts are usually asymptomatic but may need aspiration or surgery. Osteoarthritis affects older adults, presenting with joint pain and stiffness. Non-specific pain is diagnosed by exclusion and treated conservatively.

摘要

Wrist and hand conditions commonly seen in occupational health include carpal tunnel syndrome, De Quervain's tenosynovitis, wrist sprains, ganglion cysts, osteoarthritis, and non-specific pain. Carpal tunnel syndrome involves median nerve compression, causing numbness and weakness, often treated with splints and NSAIDs. De Quervain's presents with pain over the radial wrist and is managed with rest and thumb splints. Wrist sprains result from ligament injuries, requiring imaging and conservative care. Ganglion cysts are usually asymptomatic but may need aspiration or surgery. Osteoarthritis affects older adults, presenting with joint pain and stiffness. Non-specific pain is diagnosed by exclusion and treated conservatively.
