Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how people in British Columbia got treated for hand fractures from 1996 to 2001.
- It found that almost everyone (97%) got treated as outpatients, meaning they didn't need to stay overnight in a hospital.
- Most people (90%) were treated without surgery, while those with tougher fractures saw specialists quickly, especially those living in more isolated areas who had to go to the hospital more often.
