Summary

Fractures in the hand can affect any of the 27 bones. Most fractures do not require surgery and heal well. Some fractures do require surgical treatment to ensure that the alignment is normal and that you can maximize the function of your hand. A vital part of recovery is re-gaining the full range of movement of the fingers and thumb. Your cooperation with a hand therapist is essential for successful rehabilitation of any hand injury.
