[Metacarpal fractures--treatment results].
In the study we presented the results of treatment of 126 fractures in patients hospitalized between 1994-2003 in the Department of Orthopeadics. The assesment was based on 87 patients that presented for the study, including 62 male and 25 female patients in the 14-57 age. The treatment consisted of stationary reduction combined with cast fixation and stabilization with Kirschner wire. The results were dividet into 5 groups based on the fractured metacarpal bone. The best results have observed the couse of treatment of 2nd, 3rd, 4th metacarpal fracturs and not so good in the 1st and 5th metacarpal fractures.
