    Sagittal Band Injury Basics

    Sagittal band injuries can make a knuckle tendon drift, flare up, and hurt more the more you “work it.” I break down what the sagittal band does, how repairs are protected, and simple cold techniques that can lower inflammation fast while you heal.  • what the sagittal band is and why it keeps the extensor tendon centered  • common causes of sagittal band rupture including spontaneous tears and trauma  • a real surgical case with glass in the joint and what the joint capsule does  • early post-op rehab expectations even with sutures still in place  • the splinting progression from forearm-based protection to relative motion orthosis  • cold running water for 10 to 20 seconds until deeply cold  • ice cube and paper-cup ice methods with minimal pressure  • why frequent motion and self-massage can increase inflammation  Like and subscribe to the channel.  Thank you for sharing this on social media with anyone who might benefit from such information.  CarlPetito.com, check it out.  Support the show Work with Carl!

    Sagittal Band Injuries Explained And How To Get Motion Back

    We break down why a sagittal band injury causes that painful tendon “pop” over the big knuckles and why getting movement back is the real win. We walk through a safe, step-by-step plan to restore range of motion after healing without re-rupturing the ligament or creating more finger stiffness.  • what the sagittal band is and how it keeps the extensor tendon centered  • why the tendon snaps into a trough with a tear and how inflammation builds  • common causes including trauma and arthritis-related wear  • why you need clinician clearance before pushing range of motion  • the progression from flat fist to MCP bending to full fist  • gentle stretching with light pull and active holds at end range  • why all fingers move together due to interconnected extensor tendons  • how often to practice and why frequency beats intensity  • using cold to settle soreness and reduce irritation  Please like and subscribe to the channel.  Check out my website, carlpetito.com.
