Intramedullary headless compression screw fixation of proximal phalangeal fractures
permits semirigid stabilization through a minimally invasive approach with negligible tendon …

Proximal phalangeal fractures have traditionally been fixed via either Kirschner wires or
dorsal plating. Concerns regarding lack of compression and potential for infection with wire …

Background Fractures of the hand, specifically the metacarpals and phalanges, are a
common injury. Whilst many of these fractures can be treated non‐operatively, a number of …

Background: To compare the observed healthcare and societal costs of intramedullary
screw (IMS) and plate fixation of extra-articular metacarpal and phalangeal fractures in a …

Background: Practice variation may indicate a lack of evidence to guide management. This
study investigated the preferences of operative management of proximal phalangeal …

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate short-and medium-term clinical and patient-reported
outcomes of intramedullary compression screw fixation for extra-articular middle phalangeal …

Purpose To provide a biomechanical comparison of dorsal plating, lateral plating and
intramedullary screw [IMS] fixation for extra-articular proximal phalangeal fractures. Methods …

Purpose To investigate the volar anatomy of the middle phalanges of the hand; in particular,
to define the presence and depth of a volar midline longitudinal groove. Methods …

Background: Intramedullary screw fixation of phalangeal and metacarpal fractures has
gained popularity as a method of providing rigid internal fixation with minimum tendon …

Objective: To compare the outcome of mini-plate versus Kirschner wire (K-wire) internal
fixation for treating fifth metacarpal basal fractures with carpometacarpal joint dislocation …
