    Rigid internal fixation effectively treats metacarpal and phalangeal fractures using various techniques. This study details methods like tension band wires and compression screws for optimal bone healing.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Trauma Care
    • Skeletal Biology

    Background:

    • Metacarpal and phalangeal fractures are common hand injuries.
    • Effective treatment is crucial for restoring hand function.
    • Rigid internal fixation offers a method for achieving stable fracture repair.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of rigid internal fixation for metacarpal and phalangeal fractures.
    • To describe and illustrate various fixation techniques.
    • To emphasize principles of primary bone healing and interfragmentary compression.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 104 patients treated over 6 years.
    • Application of tension band wires, interosseous compression screws (lag screws), or plates and screws.

  • Analysis of both open and closed fracture injuries.

    • Main Results:

    • Rigid internal fixation was applied to 104 patients with hand fractures.
    • Multiple fixation methods were utilized, including wires, screws, and plates.
    • The study emphasizes key surgical principles for successful bone healing.

    Conclusions:

    • Rigid internal fixation is a viable treatment for metacarpal and phalangeal fractures.
    • Understanding primary bone healing and compression is vital for surgical success.
    • Various fixation techniques can be effectively employed based on fracture patterns.
