Determining the severity and establishing the mechanism of fractures of the bones of the hand are the main issues in the examination of living persons. Currently, in the process of forensic medical examination, the severity of fractures of these bones is established according to the criteria for the duration of health disorders and the volume (%) of permanent loss of general ability to work. However, the duration of health disorders, depending on the nature, localization of fractures, as well as damage to other structures of the hands, varies significantly. In addition, the complications of fractures and long-term outcomes of injury to the bones of the hand can also be very diverse. And, the nature of fractures can be different depending on the mechanism of injury.
