    AbstractFractures in the hand, as elsewhere, usually fall into identifiable patterns. With prompt diagnosis and appropriate management, most fractures can be treated satisfactorily by closed means. However, a small percentage of fractures in the hand do require treatment by open means. Early recognition and early treatment of these injuries will usually avoid significant complications.
