77th ASSH Annual Meeting - Back to Basics: Practice and Education-Clinical Paper Session 06 (AM22)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the management of hand fractures using minimally invasive techniques. It highlights how these techniques can allow for immediate evaluation of motion and rotation, immediate rehabilitation, and reduced postoperative pain and stiffness. The video focuses on three types of hand fractures: phalangeal fractures, metacarpal fractures, and scaphoid fractures. For phalangeal fractures, the use of K-wires and headless compression screws is shown to provide stability and early range of motion. For metacarpal fractures, the video emphasizes the use of two screws over one for improved stability. For scaphoid fractures, the video discusses the option of distal pole excision and the use of a mediofemoral condyle free graft. The video concludes by highlighting the benefits of minimally invasive techniques, such as local anesthesia, limited incisions, and remote postoperative follow-up.
