Hand fractures involve a break in one or more of the small bones of the hand—phalanges (finger bones) or metacarpals (palm bones). Due to the hand’s intricate anatomy and constant use, fractures require careful evaluation and precise treatment to restore function, prevent deformity, and avoid long-term stiffness.
Dr. (Maj)(Prof) Ravi Saroha is an experienced plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Delhi with deep expertise in trauma and hand surgery, offering advanced care for both simple and complex hand fractures.
Dr. Saroha conducts a detailed physical examination, followed by:
Common signs include sharp pain, swelling, bruising, difficulty moving fingers, or a visible deformity. If you suspect a fracture, consult a doctor immediately for evaluation and X-rays.
Hand fractures can result from falls, sports injuries, road accidents, direct impact, punching a hard surface, or industrial trauma.
No. Stable, non-displaced fractures can often be treated with splinting or casting. Surgery is needed if the bones are misaligned, unstable, or involve the joint surface.
With timely treatment and proper physiotherapy, most patients regain good hand function. However, delayed treatment or severe fractures may lead to stiffness or reduced grip strength.
Plastic surgeons like Dr. Saroha are trained in both bone and soft tissue repair, offering comprehensive reconstruction with attention to both function and aesthetics.
