- Wrist Fracture Management in the ED: Background . . . - Medscape
The wrist is the most commonly injured region of the upper extremity Fractures of the distal radius and ulna account for three fourths of wrist injuries [1] The carpal bones themselves are injured much less frequently but account for up to 10% of injuries to the structures of the hand [2] Not only are these injuries frequently encountered in the emergency department (ED) setting, but the
- Phalangeal Fractures: Background, Sport-Specific Biomechanics, Epidemiology
Hand injuries are very common in all sports, especially in ball-playing athletes Most athletic hand injuries are closed hand injuries and include ligamentous injuries, fractures and fracture-dislocations, tendon injuries, and neurovascular problems
- Mallet Finger Treatment Management: Approach Considerations . . .
Attempted open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of a mallet injury, either tendinous or bony, often results in a stiff, infected, or painful finger In most instances, therefore, the surgeon should resist the urge to treat mallet finger surgically [8] However, some indications for surgical reduction, such as volar subluxation of the distal phalanx, do exist
- Metacarpal Fractures Treatment Management - Medscape
Most metacarpal injuries are managed by closed reduction and immobilization or sometimes controlled mobilization utilizing a dorsal block splint Indications for operative treatment include the following:
- Sugar-Tong Forearm Splinting: Background, Indications . . . - Medscape
Splints are used to prevent motion of injured body parts Unlike casts, splints are not circumferential and are slightly flexible This allows splints to expand and accommodate swelling Splints are often used immediately after an injury and exchanged later for a more rigid cast [1, 2, 3] Sugar-tong splints are used to stabilize injuries of the forearm and wrist by preventing forearm rotation
- Thumb Spica Splinting: Background, Indications, Contraindications
All patients with injuries that are splinted should be referred for evaluation by a consultant in a timely fashion (usually within 2-7 days, depending on the reason for the splint)
- Metacarpal Fractures: Practice Essentials, Anatomy, Pathophysiology
This article reviews metacarpal fractures and dislocations in the hand Injury to the thumb metacarpals is also discussed in Bennett Fracture, Rolando Fracture, and Thumb Reconstruction Treatment of metacarpal fractures and dislocations is primarily nonoperative (See Treatment ) Indications for operative treatment include the following:
- Metacarpophalangeal Joint Dislocation Treatment Management
Never use longitudinal traction, because this may entrap the metacarpal head in already tightened soft tissues or pull the volar plate into the joint, converting a simple dislocation into a complex dislocation Postreduction radiographic films confirm satisfactory reduction Maintain reduction in dorsal splint with the MCP joint flexed 30º
