Signs and Treatments for a Finger Pulley Injury

Signs and Treatments for a Finger Pulley Injury

Finger pulley injuries, or ruptures of the digital pulley, are seen almost exclusively in rock climbers.1 This makes sense given the stress this activity places on the digits when maneuvering along uneven surfaces while supporting the weight of the entire body. Pulley injuries result from the mechanics of the finger tendons and joints and the particular position the fingers are held in while rock climbing.
