Open reduction of intraarticular fractures involving the metacarpals and phalanges and fixation with the small external fixation apparatus is a promising new method which fulfills a need. Full return of function in seven patients and a small limitation of function in three patients can be regarded as a satisfactory result. All patients returned to work after a short time without any complications. The external mini-fixation device which has already been useful in the treatment of open and closed fractures, infected nonunions and in performing arthrodeses has now found another application in the treatment of fractures involving finger joints.
采用小型外固定器对涉及掌骨和指骨的关节内骨折进行切开复位固定，是一种满足需求且很有前景的新方法。7例患者功能完全恢复，3例患者功能有轻微受限，可视为满意结果。所有患者均在短时间后恢复工作，无任何并发症。已在开放性和闭合性骨折、感染性骨不连治疗以及关节融合术中发挥作用的小型外固定器，如今在涉及手指关节骨折的治疗中又有了新应用。
