Anatomy of the hand
Human`s hand consists of three parts:
- Wrists

The wrist is formed by two rows of small bones.
There are only five metacarpal bones. These are short tubular bones that have a body and a head.
Finger bones is called phalanges. The thumb has two phalanges - the main and the nail. All other fingers have three phalanges - proximal, intermediate and distal.
The hand provides motor skills of the hands and full functionality of it. The bones of the wrist are combined into a single mechanism of small, inactive joints.
Injuries and diseases of the structures of the hand
Hnjuries are one of the most common problem of Hand surgery. 
They are:

Most hand diseases are post-traumatic. Namely, tendinitis, tendovaginitis, bursitis, synovitis.
The wrist joint and hand are subject to autoimmune and rheumatological processes:

Due to prolonged work with increased tone of the hands and monotonous fine motor skills, it is possible to develop a condition such as carpal tunnel syndrome - carpal tunnel stenosis. With it, a typical symptom complex arises, which makes it possible to clearly differentiate tunnel syndrome from a number of other diseases:
Trembling in the hand and numbness
Pale skin
Loss of tactile sensation
Feelings of goosebumps, tingling, burning in the hand
