Hand Injuries in the Polish Silesian Paediatric Population-An Exploratory Cross-Sectional Study of Post-Traumatic X-rays.

Conclusions: The results indicate that 11-year-old boys are at an increased risk of hand injuries and fractures. The distal and middle phalanges of the right hand, especially of the fifth digit, were the most susceptible to fracture localisation. Thus, injuries in these areas should be perceived as most likely to cause fractures and therefore demand careful examination. PMID: 33092076 [PubMed - in process]
