These studies have led some authors to recommend always treating Bennett’s fracture surgically 17. Surgical treatment is not standardised for the treatment of Bennett fractures and successful methods have included closed reduction and percutaneous pinning, open or arthroscopically–assisted reduction with either pins or inter-fragmentary fixation 6,8,16,17.
Joint aspiration is a procedure where a healthcare provider inserts a needle in the space between a joint. They use the needle to collect joint fluid, which they send to a laboratory for analysis. But you can’t take your chances with that in boxing. Also, remember, that you should not compromise with the healing time. Acute injuries to the ulnar collateral ligament of the thumb can be treated conservatively or surgically, depending on the severity of the injury 6-8. Partial tears without Stener lesions are typically treated non-surgically with immobilisation for 4 to 6 weeks with removable thermoplastic splint of the thumb; while complete tears with Stener lesions are always treated surgically 3,6,8. However, the presence or absence of avulsion fractures and the degree of joint stability are also key factors in determining the precise course of treatment. There are several different surgical methods available, which may depend on the exact circumstances of each case, but so far no studies have explored the optimal methods 3,6,8. Postoperatively, immobilisation lasting 6 weeks is frequently recommended, followed by physical therapy 5,6. OA most often affects the joints at the tip and middle of the fingers. OA can also cause swelling at the base of the thumb. Alves was stripped of the title in June 2022 after he and the organization were not able to reach agreement on new contract. [35]
