X-ray of an avulsion fracture of the head of the first (thumb) metacarpal on the left hand of a 16-year-old male, images taken one day and seven weeks after the injury, respectively. If the fracture is small, it is usually sufficient to treat with rest and support bandage , but in more severe cases, surgery may be required.
Gamekeeper's thumb and skier's thumb are two similar conditions, both of which involve insufficiency of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the thumb. The chief difference between these two conditions is that skier's thumb is generally considered to be an acute condition acquired after a fall or similar abduction injury to the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint of the thumb, whereas gamekeeper ...
In the most minor cases of Bennett fracture, there may be only small avulsion fractures, relatively little joint instability, and minimal subluxation of the CMC joint (less than 1 mm). In such cases, closed reduction followed by immobilization in a thumb spica cast and serial radiography may be all that is required for effective treatment. [5]

Fractures in the joints are often caused by jammed finger injuries, the hand equivalent of a stubbed toe. If a tendon pulls away the bit of bone to which it is attached (an avulsion fracture, shown in the image at the top of the page, and in the Busch fracture images below), that will also lead to a fracture in a joint.

The triquetral is one of the eight carpal bones of the hand.It is a three-faced bone found within the proximal row of carpal bones. Situated beneath the pisiform, it is one of the carpal bones that form the carpal arch, within which lies the carpal tunnel.
A distal radius fracture, also known as wrist fracture, is a break of the part of the radius bone which is close to the wrist. [1] Symptoms include pain, bruising, and rapid-onset swelling. [1] The ulna bone may also be broken. [1] In younger people, these fractures typically occur during sports or a motor vehicle collision. [2]
Fractures in the proximal third have a high incidence of AVN (~30%) Waist fractures in the middle third is the most frequent fracture site and has moderate risk of AVN. Fractures in the distal third are rarely complicated by AVN. Non union can also occur from undiagnosed or undertreated scaphoid fractures. Arterial flow to the scaphoid enters ...
