Abstract

Traumatic finger injuries in athletes are widespread and vary widely, from minor sprains to complex fractures or tendon damage, with occurrences differing by sport due to distinct biomechanical demands. Imaging plays a pivotal role in assessing these injuries. Radiography serves as the primary diagnostic tool, crucial for detecting bone-related abnormalities; ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging are essential for evaluating soft tissue injuries. Prompt and accurate diagnosis is key to ensuring effective treatment and preventing long-term complications, thereby facilitating a quick and safe return to sports activities.
