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.

The metacarpal 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.
