Fracture Management in Hand Trauma

Fracture management in hand trauma involves assessing and treating broken bones in the hand and fingers. Initially, a doctor will examine the injury and may take X-rays to confirm the fracture's location and type. Treatment can range from immobilization with a splint or cast for minor fractures to surgical intervention for severe cases, where pins or plates may be used to stabilize the bones. Rehabilitation, including physical therapy, is often recommended to restore movement and strength. Effective management aims to promote healing, prevent complications, and help the patient regain normal hand function.
