Surgery through an incision to repair a break in one of the long bones of the hand between the wrist and the knuckles, setting the pieces accurately and holding them with screws, a plate or wires. It is chosen when the bone is angled, rotated or unstable enough that a cast would leave the hand deformed or the grip weak. Each bone treated this way is counted separately.
