Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
Objective: To evaluate the surgical outcomes of metacarpal and phalangeal fracture fixation using plates and screws at Thai Nguyen Central Hospital.
Subjects and methods: A retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 120 patients with metacarpal and phalangeal fractures treated at Thai Nguyen Central Hospital.
Results: Postoperatively, 96.7% of fractures achieved anatomical alignment with complete reduction. According to the Larson Bostman criteria for early postoperative evaluation, 84.2% of patients had excellent results, 15% good, and 0.8% fair. After three months, bone union was achieved in 98.3% of cases, with delayed union observed in two patients (1.7%). At the three-month follow-up, 85% of patients demonstrated good hand mobility, while 15% showed mild movement limitation. Based on the Belsky criteria for overall outcomes at three months, 79.2% of patients had excellent results, 20% good, and 0.8% not good.
Conclusion: Bone fixation with plates and screws is an effective surgical method for treating metacarpal and phalangeal fractures.
