Athletic participation after injury may resume when cleared by a physician familiar with hand injuries. It is the role of the athletic trainer or therapist to implement appropriate rehabilitative measures and apply a protective device to lessen the chance of re-injury or delayed healing. The trainer must also educate coaches, athletes, and parents that hand and finger injuries are not inconsequential. Without proper diagnosis and treatment, there may be future pain, disability, and deformity.
