Effect of improved Kirschner-wire extension blocking technique on avulsed fracture of the base middle phalanx
To study the outcome of Kirschner-wire extension blocking technique and closed reduction in the treatment of avulsed fracture of the base middle phalanx.
Methods
2
A total of 7 patients with avulsed fracture of the dorsal base middle phalanx and 13 patients with avulsed fracture of the volar base middle phalanx admitted to Qinhuai Medical Area of the Eastern Theater General Hospital from May 2019 to May 2022 were included, who were treated by Kirschner-wire extension blocking technique and closed reduction. The total active motion (TAM) of the affected and healthy fingers were measured, and visual analogue scale (VAS) score was evaluated. Fracture healing and joint surface flatness were observed by X-ray.
Results
2
The follow-up period was 6 to 12 months,with an average of 9 months, no pin-track infection, skin necrosis, pain, or arthritis occurred. Reexamination of X-ray after 1 to 3 months of surgery showed that all fracture ends had achieved bone healing and a smooth joint surface. The TAM result after 6 to 12 months of surgery: excellent in 11 cases, good in 8 cases, and moderate in 1 case. VAS score: 0 point in 19 cases, 2 points in 1 case.
Conclusion
2
Kirschner-wire extension blocking technique and closed reduction is effective for avulsed fracture of the base middle phalanx, with simple surgical operation and few complications.
