There are a few options for treatment of fractures of the hook of the hamate. Use of a cast to immobilize the broken bone can sometimes be effective, but the results are not reliable. Healing of the fracture may not occur, and patients are likely to need further treatment. Repair of the fracture is generally avoiding.
In early September 1861, less than five months after Fort Sumter, and little more than six weeks after the battle itself, the Confederate soldiers of the 8th Georgia Infantry erected the first Civil War battlefield monument, at the site of their victory at Manassas.
The desire to memorialize the Civil War continues to the present day, with a statue of Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston dedicated on private land near the Bentonville, N.C. Battlefield on March 20, 2010. There are also monuments to North Carolinians who fought for the Union and to soldiers from other states.
