Articular fractures of the fingers in children.
Articular fractures of the fingers in children may result in severe sequelae that impair function of the hand. All displaced fractures must be reduced and fixed. Undisplaced fractures must be securely immobilized (including neighboring joints) and checked frequently for a possible displacement. Even when tested properly, articular fractures may have an unsatisfactory outcome.
