Los Angeles residents can now count on the Hand and Wrist Institute for Boxer Fracture repair.


Are you looking for the best hand clinic Los Angeles has to offer for boxer's fracture? For those that don't know, boxer's fracture is a type of break in the metacarpal bone usually in the pinky finger. It often happens in the narrowest point sometimes called the ìneckî of the bone. This type of fracture gets its name, to put it simply, because that's what most people are doing when they have this type of fracture. This finger has a tendency to lead when a punch is thrown. Or at the very least, this break resembles that of someone clinching their fist and punching something harder causing this break. This could be a wall or an opponent's head.

Boxer's fracture can send extraordinary pain into the finger. It's almost amazing how such a small bone can have so many nerves in it. But the right Beverly Hills hand doctor can fix it and get the boxer back in the gym in no time. Of course the other side of that is, the wrong Beverly Hills hand doctor can mess things up and cause the fighter serious delays in training.

Treating a boxer's fracture is a pretty straightforward procedure for the best Los Angeles hand center. The specialist takes a snapshot of the finger to determine how bad the fracture is. They'll usually do this with an x-ray to see how much displacement there is. In minor fractures, the hand specialist will often defer to a splint for a set period of time. If it is more severe, the hand specialist will likely use pins to set the course of healing.

If boxer's fracture is left untreated, it could result in some very undesired effects. Sometimes the bone can heal just fine altogether. Other times it could cause permanent deformity. The patient may even have trouble grasping things with the finger that they normally could. This causes strain on other fingers and joints possibly even leading to arthrities, or the need for carpal tunnel surgery. Of course these are extreme cases. But why would anyone want to risk a chance of getting arthrities or the need for carpal tunnel surgery over a simple fracture that can be reset by a specialist.

Boxer's fracture may not be the biggest of problems a fighter may face. But then again, sometimes it's the little things that can grow into bigger issues down the road. It's important to align yourself with the best sports injury surgeon Angeles has; and ensure a speedy recovery back into the gym.
