Abstract:
Peri-articular fractures of the hand are common injuries. Long-term consequences can be relatively innocuous or severely disabling. Due to the specific anatomy of the hand, avulsion fractures are likely more common here than anywhere else in the body and often occur at or near joints. The management of peri-articular fractures of the hand requires consideration of both the articular reduction and the status of ligament and tendon attachments. In general, these fractures can be treated non-operatively. Operative treatment can be percutaneous or open and should be individualized.

Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi...
Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
