Kéztörés

Kéztörés is a Hungarian term that translates to "hand fracture" or "broken hand" in English. It refers to a fracture in any of the bones that make up the hand, including the metacarpals, carpals, or phalanges. These injuries can occur due to a variety of causes, such as direct impact, falls, or sports-related trauma.

Symptoms of a kéztörés typically include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the affected finger or hand. In some cases, a visible deformity may be present. Diagnosis is usually made through a physical examination and imaging tests like X-rays.

Treatment for a kéztörés depends on the severity and location of the fracture. Simple fractures may be treated with immobilization, such as casting or splinting, to allow the bone to heal. More complex fractures, or those involving joint displacement, may require surgical intervention to realign the bones and stabilize the fracture. Physical therapy is often recommended after the initial healing period to restore strength, flexibility, and function to the hand. The healing process can take several weeks to months, and full recovery may require diligent rehabilitation.
