ABSTRACT
The author reviewed 148 cases of phalangeal and metacarpal fractures of the hand, excluding distal phalangeal and carpal bones, in 75 patients treated at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Dong-Kang Hospital, from January, 1984 to December, 1987. We obtained the following results ; 1. Better results were obtained in younger patients, transveres or spiral fractures, and cases immobilized in MP joint flexion. 2. Factors that led to worse results included older age, comminuted fracture, wide displacement, intra articular fracture, associated tendon injury, intraarticular pin placement. 3.In case of K-wire fixation, dorsal placement of the wire revealed better result than volar one.
