Abstract
Pediatric finger fractures are among the most common injuries of the hand. Although most can be treated nonsurgically with good results, a small subset benefits from intervention. The purpose of this review was to provide an update on potentially problematic pediatric phalanx fractures. We will review common finger fractures unique to pediatric patients, classifications, surgical indications, and treatment options for chronic presentations.
