Fractures of the hand in children include fractures of the phalanges and metacarpals. If external splinting is used, it is usually necessary to wait for the fracture to heal before removing the splinting external fixation. Bone healing of hand fractures in children generally takes about three weeks to four weeks, but the time for bone healing is variable, depending on the severity of the fracture and the physical condition and age of the child, and the splint can be removed from the hand in about four weeks on average. If an infant or child has a hand fracture, it may take about two to three weeks to heal. However, as children grow older, bone healing gradually slows down, so the splint can be removed only after an average of about four weeks, but this time is uncertain and needs to be checked in the hospital, and the doctor will analyze the situation by examining and taking X-rays.
