Just like anything else but be careful to not wrap too tight
It depends on the injury. The straightforward answer would be use a nice wrap and wrap it snuggly but not too tight.
Usually with an ice pack, and however you can get a brace or ace bandage to work. Don't get frostbite, use a towel in between ice & skin if you need to.
With an ace wrap starting on the hand side and wrapping up towards your shoulder - snug, but not too tight to cause swelling in your hand. Ice x20 minutes every couple of hours & elevate above your heart/chest level.
