Compression osteosynthesis in the hand using a small nail-plate

E Paneva-Holevich

A small self-compression nail-plate for stable osteosynthesis in metaphyseal fractures of metacarpals and phalanges is described. It is also used for interphalangeal arthrodesis. This type of osteosynthesis was performed twenty-five times in twenty-one patients for treatment of malunion, non-union, and the like. Bone union occurred in all instances without exception. No deleterious sequelae in terms of limitation of motion in adjacent joints were recorded subsequent to the surgical intervention.
