Summary
If you’ve injured your hand, bandages can reduce swelling, restrict movement, and provide support to the muscles, bones, and joints.
Certain hand injuries may heal better when bandaged. These include:
fractures, sprains, and strains
wounds like cuts and animal bites
burns
Most minor hand injuries may heal on their own. Serious hand injuries require immediate medical assistance.
Read on to find out when to bandage an injured hand, how to apply a bandage, and when to seek medical attention.
Conditions that require you to bandage your hand
Here are some common hand injuries that may require bandaging, as well as signs that you should seek medical assistance.
Fracture
What it is: A hand fracture occurs when you break one or more of the bones in your hand. The most common hand fracture is a boxer’s fracture, which occurs when you break one of the bones at the base of your knuckles, where the fingers meet the hand.
When to seek medical assistance: You should see a doctor immediately if you think your hand is broken.
Some common signs and symptoms of a hand fracture include:
a bone in your hand is visibly bent or deformed
your hand is bruised, tender, and swollen
you cannot move your hand or fingers
your hand or fingers are numb
the pain is severe, even with over-the-counter pain medications
When to use a bandage: A bandage is sometimes used in the place of a splint or a cast to restrict the movement of a broken hand or finger.
However, a broken bone must be aligned before bandaging. A doctor can align your broken bone and help you understand how to care for it afterward, including whether you need to use a bandage.
