Treatment of Phalangeal Fractures by Tension Band Wiring

Y. SAFOURY

From the Hand and Microsurgery Unit, Orthopaedic Department, Kasr EL Eini Hospital, Cairo University, Egypt

Correspondence: Dr Yasser Safoury, 1 Ben Kutiba St. Section Seven, Nasr City, Cairo, Egypt. Tel: +202 401 3497; Fax: +202 401 8423; E-mail: safoury_yas{at}hotmail.com

This retrospective study assessed the outcomes of 30 patients with phalangeal fractures which were treated by open reduction and tension band wiring. Oblique, transverse and comminuted extraarticular fractures, as well as intraarticular fractures, were treated with this technique and they all united in about 8 weeks. There were no significant complications. At a mean follow-up period of 2.3 years, the active range of movement of the involved fingers was excellent in 17, and good in 13 instances. There were no fair or poor results.
