To determine whether an early return to sport in professional Australian Rules Football players after fixation of a non-thumb metacarpal fracture was safe and effective.
A total of 16 patients with a mean age of 25 years (19 to 30) identified as having a non-thumb metacarpal fracture underwent open reduction and internal plate and screw fixation. We compared the players' professional performance statistics before and after the injury to determine whether there was any deterioration in their post-operative performance.
Of the 16, 12 sustained their fracture during the season: their mean time to return to unrestricted professional play was two weeks (1 to 5). All except two of the 48 player performance variables showed no reduction in performance post-operatively.
Our data suggest that professional athletes who sustained a non-thumb metacarpal fracture can safely return to professional play without restriction two weeks after internal fixation. Cite this article: 2017;99-B:1343-7.
确定澳大利亚式橄榄球职业运动员非拇指掌骨骨折固定后早期恢复运动是否安全有效。
共16例平均年龄25岁(19至30岁)的非拇指掌骨骨折患者接受了切开复位内固定钢板螺钉固定术。我们比较了运动员受伤前后的职业表现统计数据,以确定其术后表现是否有任何下降。
16例中,12例在赛季中骨折:他们恢复无限制职业比赛的平均时间为两周(1至5周)。48项运动员表现变量中,除两项外,所有变量术后表现均未下降。
我们的数据表明,非拇指掌骨骨折的职业运动员在切开复位内固定术后两周可安全且不受限制地恢复职业比赛。引用本文: 2017;99-B:1343-7。
