A novel external fixator of the hand: a practice pearl

External fixation of comminuted hand fractures, especially those associated with soft-tissue injuries, is a good option and avoids several complications resulting from open surgery. Therefore, many versions of mini external fixators have been developed, including commercially fabricated implants and hand-made implants. However, these devices are costly or associated with serious complications. Through this study we have introduced a cost-effective and easy-to-apply mini external fixator.
