Hand injuriesmelbourneshouldersurgeonThe document discusses various hand injuries, including fractures, dislocations, and ligament injuries. It provides details on evaluating and treating different types of injuries through examination, imaging, and both nonsurgical and surgical techniques. Metacarpal and phalangeal fractures are generally first treated nonsurgically, while displaced or unstable fractures may require open reduction and internal fixation. Thumb injuries like Bennett's fractures and collateral ligament tears often benefit from surgical repair to restore anatomy and avoid long-term issues. Evaluation involves assessing injury mechanism, swelling, deformity, range of motion, and imaging findings to determine appropriate treatment.
