The Rolando fracture is a type of broken finger involving the base of the thumb. [1] It is an intra-articular fracture. [2] It was first described in 1910 by Silvio Rolando. [3] It is typically T- or Y-shaped. [4]
Bennett fracture is a type of partial broken finger involving the base of the thumb, and extends into the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. [ 1 ] Treatment typically requires surgery.
The fracture may be preventable by using wrist guards during certain activities. [1] In those in whom the fracture remains well aligned a cast is generally sufficient. [2] If the fracture is displaced then surgery is generally recommended. [2] Healing may take up to six months. [1] It is the most commonly fractured carpal bone. [3]

Some fractures, however, cannot be held in a satisfactory position by this method, and require some additional form of fixation. This is the usual situation with all displaced fractures of the first metacarpal and of the proximal phalanges of the hand, and of about two thirds of fractures of the distal end of the radius. Percutaneous pinning is ...
“The thumb did not help that situation, but that was more than what you would get with a thumb.” Thumb-sucking can cause crooked teeth, an overbite or a crossbite, a situation where the top ...
The Suzuki frame is a medical device, used for helping heal broken fingers, especially those with deep, complex intra-articular fractures. Rubber bands are used to generate traction between two metal Kirschner wires that are inserted into the bone on either side of a fracture.
According to a new study published in Neurology, poor sleep is linked to a higher risk of dementia. Neurologists explain the link—and how to prevent dementia.
