Management of Proximal Phalangeal Fractures of the Hand Using Finger Nail Traction and a Digital Splint: A Prospective Study of 43 Cases
BACKGROUND Proximal phalangeal fractures are common fractures of the hand. The fractures are difficult to treat because of vicinity of two important joints and crossing long tendons. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of nail traction technique in the management of proximal phalangeal fractures of the hand. METHODS Patients (n=43) with proximal phalangeal fractures were tr...
متن کاملPredictors of Postoperative Finger Stiffness in Unstable Proximal Phalangeal Fractures
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors for postoperative finger stiffness after open reduction and internal fixation of unstable proximal phalangeal fractures using a low-profile plate and/or screw system. We hypothesized that dorsal plate placement is a risk factor for postoperative finger stiffness. METHODS Seventy consecutive patients (50 men, 20 women; aver...
متن کاملSurgical Management Of Proximal Femur Fractures By Proximal Femoral Nail
Background and Objectives: Proximal third fractures of femur like intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures, are a leading cause of hospital admissions in elderly people. The number of such admissions is on a raise because of increasing life span and sedentary habits.

متن کاملTreatment of fractures of the proximal phalanx of long fingers with an isometric traction splint.
Treatment of fractures of the proximal phalanx of the long fingers remains difficult and challenging ; several options have been used. We report our experience with an isometric traction splint, modified from the Southampton design. A cohort of 32 patients with displaced fractures of a proximal phalanx was treated and assessed retrospectively after a short term (9 weeks after splint application...
متن کاملOperative Treatment for Proximal Phalangeal Neck Fractures of the Finger in Children
Displacement and inappropriate treatment of a proximal phalangeal neck fracture may result in malunion of the fracture with consequent loss of motion and gross deformity, especially in children. We performed a retrospective study of twenty-four patients who had undergone operative treatment for a proximal phalangeal neck fracture, with a mean follow-up evaluation of 14 months (range: 12-30 mont...
