Abstract
The concept of early motion is valuable in the treatment of fractures of the hand and wrist. It is a means to an end, however, and should be employed principally when the benefits outweigh the risks. The goal is a hand that functions as near to normally as possible, considering the injury. All treatments need to be tailored to the individual patient.
