Most of the metacarpal fractures are not complicated, but if the metacarpal fracture is combined with blood vessel, nerve and tendon injury, the surgery is more complicated.
Clinically, many metacarpal fractures do not require surgical treatment, and usually can be fixed by manipulation and external fixation and braking with plaster, but for metacarpal fracture with obvious displacement or unstable fracture, surgery is usually required, and the surgical treatment is not complicated in terms of choosing the incision and internal fixation, and it is relatively easy to fixate the fracture.
However, for patients with metacarpal fracture combined with vascular, nerve and tendon injuries, while restoring and fixing the metacarpal bone, it is also necessary to anastomose the blood vessels, nerves and tendons, which makes the surgery relatively complicated and is prone to leave sequelae, such as finger dysfunction, finger necrosis, and tendon adhesion.
Palm metacarpal fracture, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor standardized treatment.
