pubmed:abstractText |
Metacarpal and phalangeal shaft fracture fixation can be achieved by closed IM nailing. This technique provides sufficient stability to commence early unsupported joint motion and minimize soft-tissue irritation and scar formation. Stability is enhanced by proximal nail locking; a measure that extends the indications to spiral and comminuted fractures. The surgical technique is simple but requires attention to detail.
