Abstract
Bennett’s fracture dislocation is an intra-articular fracture dislocation of the base of the first carpometacarpal joint and is inherently unstable. (77),(54) With insufficient treatment, it can lead to osteoarthritis, weakness and loss of function of the first carpometacarpal joint. (77) Manual reduction of the fracture is relatively easy but maintaining the reduced position is difficult.(1) The present study was planned to evaluate the short-term results of percutaneous mini-screws fixation of Bennett’s fracture. A total of 15 patients presented with Bennett’s fracture (type 1 Gedda) were treated by percutaneous mini-screw fixation and were followed for a minimum of 6 month. The average age of the patients was 33 years, ranging from 19 to 46 years and all cases were males. Exclusion criteria included neglected fractures more than 10 days, open injuries, patients less than 16 years old and type 2, 3 Gedda fractures. All patients started range of motion 2 weeks postoperative after removal of the cast and the k-wire. At 1, 2, and 3 month patients were reviewed for clinical and radiologic assessment until union and then at 6 month at least for recording the final clinical and radiological results.
