Metacarpal Fractures
The majority of metacarpal fractures are closed injuries amenable to conservative treatment with external immobilization and subsequent rehabilitation. Internal fixation is favored for unstable fracture patterns and patients who require early motion. Percutaneous pinning usually is successful for metacarpal neck fractures and comminuted head fractures. Shaft and base fractures can be treated wi...
متن کاملThe results of operative treatment of fractures of the thumb metacarpal base.
The results of operative treatment of 21 patients with intraarticular fractures of the thumb metacarpal bone are presented. In 14 patients closed reduction was performed followed by percutaneous fixation with one or two K-wires through the metacarpal shaft to the trapezium. In five delayed cases, in which closed reduction was unsuccessful, open reduction and K-wire pinning was performed. After ...
متن کاملOperative treatment of metacarpal and phalangeal shaft fractures.
Diaphyseal fractures of the metacarpals and phalanges are common injuries that can lead to impairment of hand function. The fracture pattern and soft-tissue injury vary with the mechanism of injury. The imbalance of the flexor and extensor forces created by displaced fractures will often produce a secondary angulatory deformity. Nonoperative treatment is indicated for reducible and stable fract...
متن کاملExternal fixation for phalangeal and metacarpal fractures.
From 1987 to 1993 we treated 33 patients with 29 phalangeal and seven metacarpal fractures by external fixation using a mini-Hoffmann device. There were 27 open and 25 comminuted fractures. In 12 patients one or more tendons was involved. The mean follow-up was 4.4 years. Complications occurred in ten fractures; two required repositioning of the fixator. All the fractures healed. The functional...
متن کاملTreatments for the Fifth Metacarpal Neck Fractures
The fifth metacarpal neck fractures (commonly termed boxer's fractures) are the most common type of metacarpal fractures. Many types of treatments are available in clinical practice, some of which have already been compared with other treatments by various researchers. However, a comprehensive treatment comparison is lacking. We estimated the comparative efficacy of different interventions for ...
