Management of Metacarpal and Phalangeal Bone Fractures of the Hand

Abstract

Background: Hand fractures are one of the most common fractures presenting at accident and emergency units. Because of the complexity of the hand; management of hand fractures can be very challenging. Fixation of hand fractures can be done by multiple methods including percutaneous K-wires fixation and open reduction and internal fixation with either interosseous wiring or mini plate and screws. This comparative clinical study is to review the indications and long term results of each method.
