 Abstract
 PDF
- Hand fractures are the second most common fracture in the upper extremities after the distal radius, and patients with these injuries may be experienced in hand surgery clinics. On the other hand, during the treatment of hand fractures, complications can occur due to complex functions of the hand and small-sized injuries to the bone and soft tissues. This review focused on the principles of management of these fractures, including injury mechanism, evaluations and recent treatment options. Minimally invasive surgery in various types of hand fractures, including the phalanx and metacarpal bone, is preferred because early mobilization after surgery has been emphasized to reduce complications, such as stiffness.
