This study analyzed hand burst injuries, finding metacarpal fractures and phalangeal amputations are common. Radiologic exams are crucial for assessing severity and guiding surgical treatment for better outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Traumatology
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Burst injuries of the hand are complex traumatic events.
  • Limited information exists regarding their management and radiologic patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To retrospectively review radiologic patterns of hand burst injuries.
  • To discuss injury mechanisms, pathogenesis, and compare findings between initial and secondary assessments.
  • To emphasize the utility of radiologic examinations in surgical planning.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of two patient series with hand burst injuries.
  • Analysis of radiologic findings including bone fractures and amputations.
  • Comparison of injury patterns between first and second instance assessments.

Main Results:

  • The right hand was more frequently involved in both series.
  • Metacarpal bones were most often fractured, while phalanges were most often amputated.
  • Radiologic exams provided indirect information on soft tissue damage.

Conclusions:

  • Radiologic examinations are vital for accurate diagnosis and surgical planning of hand burst injuries.
  • Prompt radiologic assessment aids in selecting optimal surgical approaches for functional and cosmetic results.
