Definition:
Fractures of the bones in the hand are often the result of falls, crush, or sports-related injuries. Hand fractures may involve the phalanges of the digits, the long metacarpal bones of the mid-hand, or the carpal bones of the wrist (ex scaphoid, lunate). A hand fracture is the same as a break in the bone. Hand fractures are classified as displaced or non-displaced, comminuted (multiple fragments) or simple, extra-articular or involving a joint surface.
