Abstract

The role of external fixators in hand injuries is well entrenched, especially in complex, comminuted phalangeal, and metacarpal fractures where internal fixation is not always possible. We describe a simple, low cost, lightweight, and “easy to construct and easy to use” mini-fixator which can be used for complex, comminuted, open, or closed thumb fractures for definitive fixation with consistent and predictable outcomes. These self-made mini-fixators can also be used for other phalangeal and metacarpal fractures. This represents a viable, alternative option to commercially available mini-fixators which are costly, not readily available, and complicated to use.

用于复杂拇指骨折的简易迷你固定器
外固定器在手部损伤中的作用是根深蒂固的,尤其是在复杂的粉碎性指骨和掌骨骨折中,内固定并不总是可行的。我们描述了一种简单、低成本、重量轻、“易于建造和使用”的迷你固定器,可用于复杂、粉碎性、开放性或闭合性拇指骨折,以获得一致和可预测的结果。这些自制的微型固定器也可用于其他指骨和掌骨骨折。这代表了一种可行的、替代商业上可获得的微型固定器的选择,这些固定器成本高昂、不易获得且使用复杂。
