ABSTRACT
Fractures of the metacarpals and phalanges represent a significant proportion of hand fractures. Although non-operative treatment is generally effective, some fractures require surgery. Historically, osteosynthesis using K-wires was widely used, but screw plates and then cannulated intramedullary screws have emerged as therapeutic alternatives. We assessed the complications associated with the different osteosynthesis techniques stiffness, infection, bone consolidation and hardware-related problems. Each osteosynthesis technique has advantages and disadvantages, and choice depends on several factors. An individualized approach according to patient and fracture is essential to optimize clinical results.
