- W2529698908 abstract "Fractures of metacarpals and phalanges are common in hand injuries. The goal of treatment is the immediate mobilization of the fingers and restoration of the hand anatomy thus avoiding contractures of the metacarpo-phalangeal and phalangophalangeal joints and hand dysfunction. The aim of this study is the comparison between two methods of fixation of these fractures. Between 2000–2007, 74 patients who suffered meta-carpophalangeal fractures were treated by K-wires and 62 patients were treated by mini external fixation. Parameters recorded were the operating time, postoperative range of motion, cost and complications. The surgical time was lesser with the use of K-wires, the operative technique much simple and the cost minimum as compared to mini external fixators. The postoperative range of motion was inferior with the external fixation. However, there was no statistical difference between the two groups. 2 patients with the external fixation and 1 patient with K-wires developed pin-track infection. There were 3 failures of fixation in the external fixator group but no failure occurred with the use of K-wires. The majority of the fractures healed within 6 weeks. K-wires seem to be the ideal method of treatment considering the fractures of metacarpals and phalanges. The use of mini external fixation presents many disadvantages and probably is restricted to the treatment of the open and comminuted hand fractures." @default.
