A simple external fixator for complex finger fractures.
Complex fractures of phalangeal bones in the hand are difficult to treat. External fixation is an effective method of treatment particularly when internal fixation is not possible due to comminution and associated soft tissue injury. A variety of commercial fixators are available for the treatment of hand fractures. However, these fixators are costly and need a sufficient degree of expertise an...
