Phalangeal Fractures

Introduction: Gunshot wounds are a major cause of morbidity and lead to serious socioeconomic problems. Wounds often causing severe functional sequelae. Therefore, it is vitally important to provide proper management of these wounds. OBJECTIVES: Define the treatment of gunshot wounds at the Central Military Hospital in the period from March 2019 to March 2021. Material and Methods: It is a descriptive, retrospective, observational study, RESULTS: Patients who fulfilled the diagnosis presented 3 metacarpal fractures (27.27%), 2 metacarpal and phalangeal fractures (18.18%), 2 fractures of phalanges (18.18%), 1 carpal + metacarpal fractures (9.09%), 3 with injury only to skin cell tissue without evidence of fractures (27.27%). Therapeutic management: 3 patients received external fixator, 2 ORIF, 1 external fixator + ORIF + inguinal flap + bone graft, 1 external fixator + bone graft + ORIF, 0 wound closure, 4 management with wet therapy, CONCLUSIONS: The wounds By firearm in hand are frequent injuries, which merit immediate treatment. This depends on the complexity of the injury for a speedy recovery and integration into the workplace.

Abstract Phalangeal brachydactyly, which is caused by the abnormal development of the metacarpal, is characterized by shortness that can be seen in a single finger or in all fingers of the hands. Although brachydactyly is usually thought of as congenital, it can occur due to metabolic disorders or trauma. A twelve-year-old girl was admitted to our clinic with complaints of shortness in the fourth finger of the left hand. Osteotomy was applied with the drilling-osteotomy technique. The screws holding the upper and lower segments were adapted to the external fixator. Lengthening began one week after the osteotomy. The lengthening rate was organized as 0.25×2 mm/day. The amount of elongation was planned not to exceed 40% of the original bone length. Distraction was terminated after the planned elongation amount was reached, and the bone was allowed to heal. In patients under twenty years of age, the results from progressive distraction without bone grafting are close to perfect. Although the technique of successfully lengthening metacarpal fractures in children is simple, strict rules should not be ignored. Primarily, the external fixator and the distraction system should be sufficiently stable, lightweight, and should be appropriate for the size of a child’s hand.

Clinical Value

UNSTRUCTURED The retrospective study of Taylor's three-dimensional external fixator for the treatment of tibiofibular fractures provides a theoretical basis for the application of this technology. The paper collected 28 patients with tibiofibular fractures from the Department of Orthopaedics in our hospital from March 2015 to June 2018. After the treatment, the follow-up evaluation of Taylor's three-dimensional external fixator for the treatment of tibiofibular fractures and concurrency the incidence of the disease, as well as the efficacy and occurrence of the internal fixation of the treatment of tibial fractures in our hospital. The results showed that Taylor's three-dimensional external fixator was superior to orthopaedics in the treatment of tibiofibular fractures in terms of efficacy and complications. To this end, the thesis research can be concluded as follows: Taylor three-dimensional external fixation in the treatment of tibiofibular fractures is more effective, and the incidence of occurrence is low, is a new technology for the treatment of tibiofibular fractures, it is worthy of clinical promotion.
