RÉSUMÉ
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study and compare the difference on the therapeutical effectiveness between paper splint adduction fixation and plaster abduction fixation in Bennett fracture.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>In the study, seventy outpatient were selected from October 2005 to April 2007, and devided into two groups randomly involving experiment group (35 cases with paper splint adduction fixation) and control group (35 cases with plaster abduction fixation). After the fracture clinical healed and removed fixation, the patients had been followed up 6 months. At the 6th, 8th, 12th, 16th, 20th, 24th week after fracture, the fracture hand had been scored and compared according to Gabriele's score system.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>At the 8th, 12th, 16th and 20th week, the excellent rate of experiment group was higher than control group, there was significant difference (P<0.05) At 6th week and 24th week there was no significant difference (P>0.05). At 8th, 12th, 16th, 20th and 24th week, the functional score of experiment group was higher than control group, there was significant difference (P<0.05); At 6th week there was no significant difference (P>0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The paper splint adduction fixation could promote recovery of the hand function in Bennett fracture. In addition, the paper splint adduction fixation is comfortable to recipient. It could be spreaded in clinic as a effective fixation method.</p>
