title: [Possibility of fixation of a compound fracture of the 1st metacarpal bone with the minifixateur externe].
abstract: Comminuted fractures of the base of the first metacarpal are difficult to stabilize with internal fixation or with plaster casts. Use of the external mini-fixator can provide good results. Complications such as pin-infections were not seen after the use of short duration of this apparatus in closed fractures.
