Le fratture della mano in età pediatrica
Abstract
PAEDIATRICS HAND FRACTURES
Phalangeal fractures are the most common hand fractures in children and the distal phalanx is the most injured.
Minor fingertip injuries are very common; sometimes simple wound care might be enough but, in cases of larger skin
loss, local or regional flaps could be required. Carpal fractures are rare, almost always observed in adolescents rather
than in children, whereas metacarpal fractures are most commonly metaphyseal compression fractures or
Salter–Harris type II physeal fractures.
