You have broken one or more carpal bones in your hand. These have now been surgically stabilized.

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 carpus consists of 8 carpal bones. There are 2 rows of them. The lower row is closer to the wrist. The upper row is closer to the fingers.

The carpal bone fragments concerned were put back in their normal place, and a special fixation system and other special aids were used to join and stabilize them for you. To stabilize bones or parts of bones, various aids can be used. They can be made of metal or plastic, for example. The special fixation system involves inserting metal pins or screws through the skin from outside and into the bone. These are then joined to one another outside the body using a holding system.
