Follow up to the 20 year old male with the left small finger metacarpal fracture

He had lost reduction. Fracture occurred two weeks ago. He had an open reduction and internal fixation with a 2.0 y plate. I had considered CRPP but the fracture was a bit more comminuted than previously appreciated. Plus, I figured if I was going to disrupt the hematoma, I should get some compression in my fixation.

Follow-up to the 21 year-old male with a closed and angulated right small finger proximal phalanx fracture. He underwent closed reduction with percutaneous pinning. Images attached. Pins will be removed approximately 3 weeks postop. These fractures can be difficult to maintain an acceptable reduction without fixation.

Follow up to the 27 year-old male mechanic with the left thumb metacarpal fracture. Once his swelling decreased, he had an open reduction and internal fixation. His fracture was pretty comminuted. Post op, I splinted him about a week and a half, sutures were removed, and he began therapy. I will keep him non-weight bearing until XR evidence of healing or about 6 weeks.

20 year old male with multiple left CMCJ fracture dislocations s/p ATV accident. Once his swelling decreased, he had retrograde percutaneous pin fixation of the CMCJs with open reduction of the index and middle CMCJs. Pins stayed in 6 weeks. Postop, he had some stiffness as expected but regained a high level of function of his hand. He was counseled about post-traumatic arthritis due to his injury and the level of comminution of the articular surfaces.
