About Hand Fracture

A hand fracture repair is a surgical procedure performed by an orthopedic surgeon to realign and stabilize broken bones in the hand. This includes fractures of the metacarpals (long bones of the palm) and phalanges (finger bones). The goal is to restore proper alignment, function, and strength to the hand, preventing long-term complications like stiffness, deformity, or arthritis. Treatment varies based on the fracture's location, severity, and stability. For simple, non-displaced fractures, a cast or splint may suffice. However, complex, displaced, or unstable fractures often require surgical intervention, known as open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). During ORIF, the surgeon makes an incision, repositions the bone fragments, and secures them with specialized hardware like plates, screws, or wires to promote optimal healing.

Key Highlights

Restores proper bone alignment and hand anatomy.Promotes stable healing to prevent malunion or nonunion.Helps regain optimal hand function, grip strength, and dexterity.Reduces the risk of long-term complications like arthritis or chronic pain.Allows for earlier and more controlled mobilization with physical therapy.

Who is this surgery for?

Displaced fractures where bone ends are not aligned.
Unstable fractures that cannot be held in place with a cast alone.
Open fractures (bone breaks through the skin), which carry a high infection risk.
Intra-articular fractures (extending into a joint surface).
Multiple fractures in the same hand or comminuted fractures (bone shattered into pieces).
Fractures associated with tendon, ligament, or nerve injuries.
Failed non-surgical treatment, where the bone has shifted in the cast.

How to prepare

Comprehensive medical evaluation and review of medications (may need to stop blood thinners).
Pre-operative imaging, including X-rays and sometimes a CT scan, to assess fracture details.
Fasting for 6-8 hours before surgery if general anesthesia is planned.
Discussion of anesthesia options (local, regional block, or general anesthesia).
Arranging for assistance at home and time off work post-surgery.
Informing the surgeon of any allergies, especially to metals, if implants are to be used.

Risks & possible complications

Infection at the surgical site or in the bone (osteomyelitis).
Bleeding, bruising, or hematoma formation.
Damage to nearby nerves, blood vessels, or tendons.
Stiffness, reduced range of motion, or complex regional pain syndrome.
Hardware irritation, failure, or the need for future removal.
Nonunion (bone fails to heal) or malunion (bone heals in a poor position).
Allergic reaction to anesthesia or implant materials (rare).

Recovery & hospital stay

Hand will be placed in a protective splint or cast for several weeks.
Elevation and ice application are crucial for the first 48-72 hours to reduce swelling.
Pain is managed with prescribed medications.
Stitches are typically removed in 10-14 days.
Gradual, guided hand therapy (physical/occupational therapy) is essential to regain motion and strength.
Follow-up X-rays are taken to monitor healing progress.
Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity with the hand until cleared by the surgeon.

Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days (often outpatient or day-care procedure)
Expected recovery time: 6-12 weeks for bone healing; full functional recovery may take 3-6 months
