What is a Hand Fracture?
A hand fracture refers to a break or crack in one or more bones of the hand, commonly caused by trauma such as falls, road accidents, sports injuries, or direct impact. The hand is made up of multiple small bones, including the metacarpals (palm bones) and phalanges (finger bones), making it particularly vulnerable to fractures. Depending on the severity, fractures can be stable or unstable.
Common symptoms of a hand fracture include:
- Sudden and intense pain at the injury site
- Swelling and bruising of the hand or fingers
- Difficulty or inability to move the hand or fingers
- Visible deformity or abnormal positioning
- Numbness or tingling in severe cases
While minor fractures may heal with splinting or casting, displaced or unstable fractures often require surgical fixation using plates and screws. This ensures proper alignment, faster healing, and restoration of hand strength and function.
What Treatment did we provide to Pratik Sahane at Medicover?
At Medicover Hospitals, Pratik Sahane received specialized hand fracture surgery under the care of Dr Rohan Bhiwgade. Given the nature of the fracture, surgical fixation using a titanium plate was identified as the most effective treatment option.
- Detailed diagnostic imaging to accurately assess the fracture.
- Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) to realign the fractured bones.
- Fixation with a titanium plate and screws to provide long-term stability.
- Post-operative monitoring, pain management, and recovery guidance.
This precise and structured treatment approach ensured stable bone healing, reduced discomfort, and enabled Pratik to return to his normal routine with restored hand function and confidence.
