Correction of a misalignment of the broken bones involves making an incision and aligning the broken bones back into place. A pin is placed through the tip of the affected finger for finger fractures, or in the back of the affected hand for metacarpal fractures. In some instances, when bones can be easily manipulated to correct alignment, Closed Reduction and Internal Fixation may be done and no incision will be made in affected finger/hand. This surgery is performed on an outpatient basis meaning you will be able to go home that day.
