Özet
BackgroundWe aimed to present the radiological and clinical results of Kirschner-wire (K-wire) fixation and low-profile plate-screw fixation applied to unstable proximal phalangeal fractures without extension to the joint.MethodsClinical and radiological data of 22 patients who underwent fixation with open reduction and low-profile 1.5-mm titanium mini plate and unlocked screws and 18 patients who underwent fixation with K-wire due to closed, unstable extra-articular proximal phalangeal fractures were retrospectively examined. All evaluation and statistical analyses were based on sixth postoperative month evaluation parameters. Active and passive metacarpophalangeal joint and interphalangeal joint range of motions, total joint range of motion, measurement of grip strength for fractured and healthy hands, visual analog scoring, disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand scores, measurement of distance between …
