title: [Indications for osteosynthesis in childhood hand injuries (author's transl)].
abstract: The general indication for osteosynthesis in childhood can also be applied to the bones of the hand. The preferred operative procedure is to reduce and stabilize the fracture with one or two percutaneous Krischner-wire. Where there are defects in the bones or soft tissues, the use of a mini external fixation has proved rewarding, even on growing bones.
