5-790.2b:

One or more bones in your metacarpus have been surgically aligned and stabilized using aids.

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.

First of all, the metacarpal bone fragments concerned were surgically put back in their normal place. The pieces of bone concerned were then joined together and stabilized within the bone using wires or pins. The purpose of the pins or wires is to stabilize the metacarpus from within. To achieve this, they are inserted into the space inside the bone.
