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.
Of the memorials present on North Carolina's Union Square in 2011, the earliest (1857) depicts George Washington; three erected from 1895 to 1914 commemorate the Civil War; four honor soldiers in subsequent conflicts from the Spanish-American War through the World Wars and Korean Conflict to the Vietnam War.
