[A makeshift miniature fracture-fixation device: the "domino" apparatus].
The fixation of an external synthetic apparatus on fingers or metacarpals is often relevant to an emergency. In such a condition, particularly overseas, the surgeon does not get all the time and adequate apparatus. So, several expedient measures may be utilized. The authors describe a makeshift apparatus, simple and cheap, giving satisfactory stability when more sophisticated apparatus is not available.
