[Application of AO miniplate and screw in the treatment of metacarpophalangeal joint periarticular fractures].
To evaluate the clinical efficacies for open reduction and internal fixation of unstable periarticular fractures of metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP) with the AO miniature plate system. ⋯ Because of complex anatomic structures, the MCP periarticular fractures have such complications as tendon adhesion, joint stiffness and post-traumatic arthritis, etc. The traditional treatment method is less effective. The AO miniplate and screw system provides rigid and stable fixation so that it is a preferred technique in the treatment of MCP periarticular fractures.
