title: [Stable osteosynthesis in reconstructive surgery of the hand].
abstract: Stable fixation of the skeleton of the hand hat its merits especially in reconstructive procedures, such as osteotomy for malunited fractures, bone grafting procedures for loss of bone substance, fusion of any of the numerous joints in the hand and finally for finger as well as metacarpal transfer. Stable fixation is useful also in combined procedures on bone, tendons and skin. The aim of stabilization is immediate restauration as a lever arm in the motor system of the extremity. This may be achieved using adequate metalimplants based on biomechanically sound principles as outlined above.
