IC45: Our Favorite Tips to Decrease Stiffness in Finger Fracture Management (AM22)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the panel of hand surgeons discusses strategies for preventing stiffness and finger fractures. They emphasize the importance of early motion and proper fracture stability in preventing stiffness. They also discuss different treatment options, such as conservative treatment, minimally invasive surgery, and the use of intramedullary screws or K-wires for fracture fixation. They discuss the potential complications of these treatments, such as pin site infections, and also highlight the importance of patient compliance and proper rehabilitation programs. Overall, they emphasize the individualized approach to fracture management, taking into account factors such as fracture stability, patient preferences, and the type of fracture.
