Abstract
Fractures involving the bones of the hand are among the most common injuries in the United States. A significant portion of these fractures are periarticular. Although the great majority of these fractures are treated successfully by nonoperative means, complications arise. We present a comprehensive review of prevention and management of complications of periarticular fractures of the distal interphalangeal, proximal interphalangeal, metacarpophalangeal, and carpometacarpal joints.
