摘要
Paediatric hand fracture care presents unique considerations and challenges. The proximal phalanx is the most injured location. This review details pearls for the examination of the injured paediatric hand, immobilisation considerations and treatment strategies. Over-treatment can lead to unnecessary stiffness, missed activities, increased healthcare costs or unnecessary surgical morbidity. Undertreatment can promote malunion and dysfunction. Fracture patterns discussed include those of the phalangeal head, neck, shaft and base. The concepts covered will help optimise the evaluation and treatment of children with injured proximal phalanges.
