Metacarpal Fracture Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparative Study Between Miniplate and Buried k Wires in Management of Metacarpal Fractures
To compare between buried k wires and miniplate in management of metacarpal fracture.
Fractures of the carpals, metacarpals and phalanges account for approximately 15-19% of fractures in adults, with 59% of these occurring in the phalanges, 33% in the metacarpals and 8% in the carpal bones [1]. The single most common fracture site in the hand is the sub capital region of the fifth metacarpal bone (boxer's fracture) [2], which usually results from a direct blow to the metacarpal head [3]. Most hand fractures are caused by accidental falls or other sports-related injuries [4]. Hand fractures are among the most common fractures of upper extremity [5, 6]. Hand fractures can be treated conservatively or surgically, depending on the severity, location and type of fracture. The main objective of both operative and non-operative treatments is to provide fracture stability for early mobilization [7]. Surgical fixation is mainly indicated for displaced fractures because casts are often not sufficient to maintain reduction [8]. Open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF), using pins or plates, has historically been used to stabilize hand fractures which have rotational deformity or lateral angulation [9]. Open reduction may result in scarring, joint stiffness and tendon adhesion [7]. Closed reduction with internal fixation (CRIF), using percutaneous K wire or screws, is now used to treat the majority of unstable closed simple hand fractures [10]. It is generally considered percutaneous Kirschner wire (K wire) fixation may not provide adequate stabilization to allow for early mobilization [8] . ;
