TREATMENT OF DIAPHYSEAL FRACTURES OF THE METACARPAL BONES
Abstract
Presented the experience of the application of stable osteosynthesisby three Kirschner wires on diaphyseal fractures of the metacarpal bones at 74 patients.Indications for osteosynthesiswas opened (6%), closed (94%), non-united, mal-unitedfractures and false joints of metacarpal bonesdiaphysis. Patients were performed intraosseous anesthesia atdistal epimetaphysisarea of radial bone.Describeda method of operation extramedullaryosteosynthesis using three Kirschner wires. Also,describedmethod of wedge osteotomy for full recovery of hand function. Good results were obtained in 83.1% of patients, satisfactory at 13.6%, and unsatisfactory results in 3.4% of patients
