Abstract:
The primary treatment of an injured hand has great influence on later results, and also on secondary measures in reconstruction. In contrast to adults, children show a good healing of distal-pedicle flaps, after removal of fat and sparing the subdermal plexus. The choice of skin replacement must be made under careful consideration of site, function and the possibility of further measures for rehabilitation. Where several structures in the child's hand are injured, good results can be attained by combining an adaptation-osteosynthesis with Kirschner wires, and a plaster cast. Several cases are demonstrated, with examples.

In case of deep injuries, trauma to blood vessels results in blood loss. In the meantime, phospholipids released from the ruptured endothelial cellular membrane are converted into arachidonic...
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 procedure...
