Abstract
Both operative and nonoperative treatment of hand fractures can result in numerous complications, including stiffness, malunion, nonunion, arthritis, infection, and complex regional pain syndrome. These complications are frequently encountered and are often challenging to treat. This article systematically outlines the diagnosis and treatment of each of these complications to achieve the best possible outcome for the patient's overall hand function.
