Interesting that you chose the example of a nearly crippled hand.

A few years ago I messed up my defense in a martial arts class. I took a strike to my hand from a rebated sword. Broke a finger and lost the dorsal skin on that finger from the nail down to the first ITP joint (call it 1/2" by 2"). Bled through the bandages for about two days. I didn't feel like using the hand for more than a week; and still show a fore-shortened Vulcan salute even when holding my fingers together.

Sounds like a non-crippling injury and a few failed HT rolls to me.
