摘要
The optimal management of hand fractures requires a multidisciplinary approach. Initial assessment should include a thorough medical history and clinical examination, followed by appropriate radiological imaging. These are crucial in determining the appropriate management. Following joint stabilisation to allow fractures to unite, early mobilisation is needed to maximise the functional restoration of the hand. In this review, the principles of operative and non-operative management of these injuries are discussed.
