In clinical practice, a fracture of the thumb is a relatively common condition, mainly due to direct or indirect external forces. After a thumb fracture occurs clinically, whether or not it is a minor injury is determined by the location of the fracture, and the extent of the fracture. If a linear fracture of the thumb stem occurs without displacement and is treated conservatively, this fracture is considered a minor injury. If the thumb fracture is intra-articular at the base of the thumb and is displaced and treated surgically, the fracture would be considered a serious injury. In addition, if the thumb fracture is combined with an injury to the lateral thumb artery or the finger nerve, this fracture is not considered a minor injury. In the case of an open thumb fracture with heavy contamination, this fracture is also not considered a minor injury. Therefore, clinically, a patient with a thumb fracture should be seen promptly and treated symptomatically by a professional orthopedic surgeon in order to recover from the fracture as soon as possible.
