ABSTRACT
Fifty-one patients with 64 recent fracture phalanges were treated with fixation using the mini fixation system of the ASIF group. There were 36 closed, and 28 open fractures. Fourty-two fractures were fixed with screws only, and twenty-two with mini plate and screws. Closed fractures fixed with screws gave 95.8% satisfactory results, while open fractures gave 61.1% satisfactory results. Closed fractures fixed with mini plate and screws gave 58.3% satisfactory results, while open fractures gave 10% satisfactory results:
