Summary

This study details a novel treatment for open displaced intraarticular metacarpophalangeal joint fractures using the S-Quattro device with limited Kirschner wire fixation. The approach ensured fracture union and full patient recovery, highlighting its efficacy for complex hand injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Hand Surgery
  • Trauma Management

Background:

  • Phalangeal joint fractures pose challenges due to small fragments and articular involvement, requiring early mobilization.
  • Open, displaced, intraarticular fractures of the metacarpophalangeal joint demand effective fixation and stabilization strategies.

Observation:

  • A case of open displaced intraarticular metacarpophalangeal joint fracture was managed.
  • Treatment involved limited internal fixation with a Kirschner wire combined with the S-Quattro device.

Findings:

  • The combined S-Quattro and Kirschner wire technique resulted in successful fracture union.
  • The patient experienced no limitations in daily living activities post-treatment.
  • This represents the first reported use of S-Quattro for open fractures with supplementary limited internal fixation.

Implications:

  • The S-Quattro device, with minimal soft tissue dissection, is suitable for open fractures.
  • Limited internal fixation enhances fracture reduction and stability in complex hand injuries.
  • This technique offers a promising solution for challenging phalangeal joint fractures.
