Abstract
It is important to consider this type of fracture when confronted with a direct traumatism to the hand. Performing computed tomography (CT) is recommended in order to correctly identify the fracture and assess any possible associated lesions. The therapeutic decision depends on the degree of comminution of the fracture, its stability and any joint involvement.
