Abstract
There are more than 20 conditions in the differential diagnosis of finger pain in climbers. Accurate diagnosis demands a thorough clinical examination. Single flexor pulley ruptures receive conservative therapy, whereas multiple ruptures often require surgical reconstruction. In chronic tenosynovitis and capsulitis (articular synovitis), local steroid injections are often necessary. Lumbrical muscle injuries can be treated conservatively. Epiphyseal fractures in the fingers of adolescent climbers can usually be treated conservatively, though in the case of delayed diagnosis with established nonunion, surgical treatment may be required.
