Abstract:
External fixation with the use of bone cement was employed in treatment for 22 metacarpal and phalangeal fractures in 18 patients. Open fractures prevailed (70%). A frame or "V" construction was used. Metal implants were connected with balls of bone cement. The average hand function loss in cases of metacarpal fractures associated with nerves and tendons lesion was 25%.
