Scenario Assignment
• As softball player reports to the athletic
training room complaining of pain in her 3rd
distal phalange of her throwing hand. She
states that when she tried to catch a ground
ball she put her throwing hand in front of the
glove (bad idea), and the ball hit the end of her
fingertip. She reports feeling a “pop” and
immediate pain over her dorsal DIP joint. There
is mild swelling and the athlete can no longer
extend the DIP joint of her finger. *What type
of injury are you most likely dealing with?
*How are you going to treat this? *Is this going
to affect her swimming career?
