Objective:
To improve the method for internal fixation in digital replantation.
Method:
In 14 cases of finger fractures (17 fingers) admitted in our hospital between October, 2000 and March, 2003, intramedullary fixation was performed with two-parallel Kirschner wires, and the effects were compared with those of other internal fixations in cases treated within the same period.
Result:
All the digital fractures healed and none of the 10 patients followed up suffered nonunion or delayed healing. The average healing time of the fractures was 5 weeks, and the joint function recovered satisfactorily.
Conclusion:
Internal fixation with two parallel Kirschner wires can achieve more reliable fixation to promote the healing of the bone fractures.
