Tec Orthopedics offers advanced treatment for metacarpal fractures to help you regain pain-free function and return to your everyday tasks.
About Metacarpal Fracture Treatment
Metacarpal fracture treatment is a precise procedure designed to address broken bones in the metacarpals, which are the bones in the middle of the hand. The procedure involves realigning and stabilizing the fractured bones to ensure proper healing, thereby restoring function and movement.
Common Conditions Treated with Metacarpal Fracture Treatment:
Broken fingers can cause significant pain and impair hand function. Treatment can realign and stabilize the bones for optimal healing.
Fractures in the metacarpals can affect grip strength and hand movement. Proper treatment can restore normal function.
Wrist fractures, including those of the radius and ulna, can limit hand and wrist movement. Treatment ensures proper alignment and recovery.
Multiple fractures or fractures involving joints may require treatment to restore full function and prevent long-term issues.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Metacarpal Fracture Treatment:
Chronic pain that does not improve with rest or conservative treatments like splinting or medication.
Ongoing swelling and stiffness in the hand or fingers that limit your ability to move or use your hand.
Visible deformity or abnormal positioning of the hand or fingers, indicating a misaligned fracture.
Difficulty gripping, holding, or performing everyday tasks due to the fracture.
Benefits of Metacarpal Fracture Treatment
Metacarpal fracture treatment offers several advantages, helping you regain hand function and return to your activities. Here’s how it can benefit you:
By addressing the fracture, treatment can significantly reduce or eliminate hand pain.
Post-treatment, you’ll likely experience better hand movement and strength, enabling you to use your hand more effectively.
The procedure ensures that bones heal in the correct position, preventing future complications and deformities.
Some fractures can be treated with minimally invasive techniques, leading to faster recovery times and less scarring.
Metacarpal Fracture Treatment Procedure
Our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques to treat metacarpal fractures effectively. Here’s a simplified overview of the procedure:
You will receive regional or general anesthesia to ensure comfort during the treatment.
The surgeon will make a small incision to access the fractured bones.
The bones are realigned and fixed in place using pins, screws, or plates as needed.
The incision is closed with sutures or surgical tape, and the hand is bandaged for protection.
Metacarpal Fracture Treatment Recovery
Mild discomfort or soreness post-treatment can be managed with prescribed pain medications.
Your hand will be bandaged to protect the treatment site. Keeping the area dry and clean is essential.
Rehabilitation exercises may be recommended to restore strength and flexibility to the hand and fingers.
Most patients can resume light activities within a few days. Gradual return to normal routines and hand use will be guided by your surgeon.
