Fractures and hand dislocations caused by high-pressure injuries require emergency medical attention to correct the bone or bones that move out of its normal alignment. Contact your primary care physician and discuss your condition. Typically these kinds of arm and hand injuries result to severe pain that requires immediate surgery of the upper limbs (bones, joints, tendons, nerves, and muscles) affected by accident. Successful recovery to bring back the loss of motion or strength requires a prescription for physical therapy rehabilitation.
