Finger Injury

Epidemiology

Metacarpal and phalangeal fractures are common, comprising l0% of all fractures; >50% of these are work related.

The 1998 , Incident phalangeal and metacarpal fractures to be the second and third most common hand and forearm fractures following radius fractures

Mechanism Of Injury

'jamming" injuries

Frequently sustained during ball-handling sports

Sudden reaches made during everyday activities such as to catch a falling object

Axial loading along the upper

TREATMENT GENERAL PRINCIPLES

• "Fight-bite" injuries: Curved laceration overlying a joint in the hand, must be suspected caused by a tooth.

• This must be assumed to be contaminated with oral flora and should be addressed with broad-spectrum antibiotics, irrigation and debridement.

• Animal bites: Antibiotic coverage is needed for Pasterella and Eikenella.

• There are essentially five major treatment alternatives:

• Immediate motion

• Temporary splinting

• Closed reduction and internal fixation (CRIF)

• Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF)

• Immediate reconstruction

• Non operative treatment:

• Advantage• lower cost

• avoidance of the risks and complications associated with surgery and anesthesia.

• Disadvantage • stability is less assured.

CRIF prevent overt deformity Pin tract infection is the prime complication, unless K-

wires are buried.Open treatments

morbidity of surgical tissue traumathe most anatomic and stable reduction.

Critical elements in selecting between non-operative and operative treatment are the assessments of rotational malalignment and stability.

General indications for surgery

TREATMENT

Treatment of stable fracture :

Unstable fractures that are irreducible by closed means or exhibit continued instability despite closed treatment require CRIF or ORIF, of unstable fractures.

Fractures with segmental bone loss:

The primary treatment ,should be directed to the soft tissues, maintaining length with Kirschner wires or external fixation.

MANAGEMENT OF SPECIFIC FRACTURE PATTERNS

Metacarpal Head Fractures include Epiphyseal fracturesCollateral ligament avulsion fracturesOblique, vertical, and horizontal head fractures

Most require anatomic reduction to re-establish jointcongruity and to minimize post traumatic arthrosis. Stable reductions of fractures may be splinted in the "protected

position' consisting of metacarpal-phalangeal flexion >70 degrees to minimize joint stiffness (Fig.2a.l).
