ABSTRACT

The the application value of self-made splint external fixation in the treatment of patients with metacarpal fractures was observed. 80 patients with metacarpal fractures were included in this study from January 2021 to January 2023. They were divided into a control group of 40 patients who received micro steel plates and an observation group of 40 patients who received self-made splint external fixation treatment according to the average score method. The fracture healing status and union time of the two groups of patients were observed. In terms of comparison of fracture healing, the observation group showed significantly higher healing outcomes for those with better or better healing outcomes than the control group (p<0.05); In terms of fracture healing time, the control group patients took significantly longer time (p<0.05). By using self-made splints for external fixation in the treatment of metacarpal fracture patients, it can improve the fracture healing and shorten the recovery time of metacarpal fracture patients.
