About Displaced Bone in Hand

A displaced bone in the hand, often a fracture, occurs when the broken ends of a bone are no longer aligned. In pediatric orthopedics, treating this injury is critical to ensure proper healing and future growth of the child's hand. The primary procedure is a closed reduction, where the orthopedic surgeon gently manipulates the bones back into their correct position without surgery. If the fracture is unstable or involves a joint, a surgical procedure called open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) may be necessary. This involves a small incision to directly visualize the bones and use pins, screws, or plates to hold them in place. The goal is to restore normal anatomy, function, and growth potential in the child's developing hand.

Key Highlights

    Restores proper alignment and function to the child's growing hand.Minimizes risk of long-term deformity, stiffness, or growth plate damage.Procedures are tailored to the child's age and specific injury for optimal outcomes.Pediatric orthopedic specialists use child-friendly techniques and pain management.Aims to ensure full return to play, sports, and daily activities.

Who is this surgery for?

  • A visible deformity or angulation of the finger or hand.
  • Inability to move the finger or hand normally.
  • Severe pain, swelling, and bruising following trauma (e.g., fall, sports injury).
  • An unstable fracture where bones cannot be held in place with a cast alone.
  • Fracture involving a joint (intra-articular) or the growth plate (physeal fracture).
  • An open fracture (bone breaks through the skin).

How to prepare

  • Medical evaluation including physical exam and X-rays to assess the fracture.
  • Discussion of the procedure, anesthesia options (often sedation or general), and risks with the pediatric orthopedic surgeon.
  • Fasting for several hours before the procedure if anesthesia is required.
  • Informing the doctor about the child's full medical history and any medications.
  • Arranging for post-procedure transportation and care at home.

Risks & possible complications

  • Infection, especially with open procedures.
  • Bleeding or bruising at the site.
  • Damage to nerves, blood vessels, or tendons near the fracture.
  • Stiffness or loss of range of motion in the hand or fingers.
  • Need for further surgery if healing is not satisfactory.
  • Rarely, growth disturbance if the injury affects the growth plate.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • The hand will be placed in a cast or splint to immobilize it for several weeks.
  • Pain is managed with prescribed medications.
  • Elevation of the hand is crucial for the first few days to reduce swelling.
  • Follow-up X-rays are scheduled to monitor bone healing.
  • Once the cast is removed, guided physical therapy or exercises are often needed to restore strength and flexibility.
  • A gradual return to normal activities and sports as approved by the doctor.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days (often outpatient for closed reduction; ORIF may require a short stay)
  • checked Expected recovery time: 4-8 weeks for bone healing, with several months for full strength and motion

Our 8-year-old daughter fractured her elbow in a playground fall, and Dr. Prashanth Inna was absolutely phenomenal.
