Metacarpal fractures are common injuries. Most can be treated successfully by closed reduction and cast or splint immobilization. Unstable fractures, however, require internal fixation. Many such techniques are discussed. Metacarpal dislocations are more difficult to diagnose and treat than are metacarpal fractures. Careful attention to detail will help ensure a successful result.
掌骨骨折是常见的损伤。大多数掌骨骨折可以通过闭合复位及石膏或夹板固定成功治疗。然而，不稳定骨折需要内固定。文中讨论了许多此类技术。掌骨脱位比掌骨骨折更难诊断和治疗。仔细关注细节将有助于确保获得成功的治疗结果。
