Aids have been removed from your metacarpal bones.

The hand is made up of a lot of small bones and joints. Immediately after the forearm is the carpus. Then comes the metacarpus and then the individual fingers. The metacarpus forms the palm of the hand and the back of the hand. It consists of the longish metacarpal bones. There is one metacarpal bone for each finger.

To stabilize bones or parts of bones, various aids can be used. They can be made of metal or plastic, for example.

Long pins have been removed from your metacarpal bones. Long pins like these are used to stabilize the bone from within. The long nails are inserted through bones and join these bones together. Joints, for example, can be temporarily reinforced like this.
