Hand fractures and dislocations in the developing skeleton.
Hand Clinics 2006 August
Management of children's fractures requires a thorough knowledge of the developing skeleton, with recognition of the injury present and its potential course based on mechanism and anatomy, a dedication to complete and repeated clinical and radiologic examinations, and a willingness to intercede if unacceptable angulation or any rotation occurs in the course of treatment. The ability to remodel follows a well-defined course and may be anticipated within certain margins, but expectations of this ability should not be overemphasized or even contemplated outside the direction of joint motion. Growth arrest following injury, although a real concern, remains rare. Persistent stiffness, particularly at the PIP joint, occurs much more frequently than is perceived, particularly for phalangeal shaft, condylar, and neck fractures.
