Diagnosis and treatment
Treatment is dependent on the specific fracture pattern and location. Most hand and finger fractures are treated nonsurgically with generally good outcomes expected. This may entail a brief period of immobilization/splinting. More complex fractures may require surgical treatment. Additionally, some hand and finger fractures can lead to long-term loss of mobility and function.
