title: [Osteosynthesis using a L-shaped miniplate of metaphyseal and metaphyseal-epiphyseal fractures of metacarpals and phalanges].
abstract: In 15 cases, a small L-shaped, cut-to-size, reversible plate was used either to stabilize metaphyseal and metaphyseal-epiphyseal fractures of metacarpal bones and first phalanxes or to correct malunions and non-unions. The material and operating technique are described and the advantages and disadvantages of this and other techniques are discussed.
