Evidence-Based Management of Common Hand and Wrist Injuries: Tips, Pearls, and Controversies
Abstract:
General orthopaedic surgeons should have up-to-date information on the most common types of hand and wrist injuries, including distal radius fractures, scaphoid fractures, proximal interphalangeal joint injuries, scapholunate and perilunate injuries, nerve lacerations, common pediatric upper extremity injuries, and metacarpal and phalangeal fractures. These topics represent a broad swath of the typical pathologies the common hand surgeon will face in their practice. Providing the most up-to-date evidence and rationale for current treatments should help clinicians identify current themes in the treatment of these conditions and provide rationale regarding when to use certain up-and-coming techniques.
