Wrist and hand skeletal injuries in children.
When accidents occur, the hand is the part of the body most often thrust out to lessen the consequences, resulting in a wide array of combinations of soft-tissue and chondro-osseous injuries. Pediatric wrist and hand skeletal injuries discussed in this article include growth mechanism injury, fractures and dislocations, nailbed injuries, fingertip injuries, burns, and frostbite.
