Interesting case
PAWARIS WANGKIAT
History
Case ผู้ป่วยหญิง อายุ 40 ปี
CC:โดนทาร้าย 3 hr pta
PI : 3 hr pta ผู้ป่วยให้ประวัติว่าดื่มเหล้าผู้ป่วยไม่เมา ำา
เหตุการณ์ได้หมด เกิดการทะเลาะวิวาท โดนทาร้ายด้วยแท่ง
เหล็กที่มีตะขอฟาดเข้าที่แขนขวา มีอาการบวมมาก และมือซ้าย
โดนตะขอเกี่ยวมือซ้าย มีแผลเปิด แขนขวาสามารถขยับหัวไหล่
ข้อศอก ข้อมือ นิ้วมือได้ดี แขนซ้าย ขยับข้อมือไม่ได้ ไม่ชา ไม่
อ่อนแรง ทั้ง 2 ข้าง ำึงมา รพ.

metacarpal bone Lt hand
Management
 Admit
 NPO
 Dressing wound
 Preop lab ,CXR ,EKG
 IV fluid:5%DN/2 1000 ml iv 80 ml/hr
 Cefazolin 1 g IV stat then q 6 hr
 Set or for Excisional debridement + K-wire
Operation: Excisional debridement
+ K-wire
Post-op
Metacarpal Fracture
Anatomy
 concave on palmar surface
 1st, 4th, and 5th digits form mobile borders
 The second and third metacarpals are fixed rigidly at their bases, while the
fourth and fifth carpometacarpal (CMC) joints are capable of at least 15°
and 25° of motion
 three palmar and four dorsal interossei muscles arise from metacarpal
shafts
Epidermology
 incidence
 metacarpal fractures account for 40% of all hand injuries
 demographics
 men aged 10-29 have highest incidence of metacarpal injuries
 location
 metacarpal neck is most common site of fracture
 fifth metacarpal is most commonly injured
Mechanism of injury
 direct blow to hand or rotational injury with axial load
 high energy injuries (ie. automobile) may result in
multiple fractures
Management
 Depend on location ,acceptable angulation ,no degree of deformities
Surgical indication
 Displaced Intraarticular frature
 Unstable diaphyseal fracture :long oblique ,spiral ,comminuted
 Rotation deformity
 Open fracture
 Tendon injury association
 Unaccept angulation
 Multiple fracture
 Cosmetic
 Fail reduction
Nonoperative management
 Immobilization
 indications
 must be stable pattern
 no rotational deformity
 acceptable angulation & shortening (see table)
Acceptable Shaft
angulation
Shortening (mm) Acceptable neck
angulation
Index&long finger 10-20 5 10-20
Ring finger 30 5 40
Little finger 40 5 50
Metacarpal head fracture
 Undisplace ,Stable fracture
-immobilization in save position
 Displaced fracture (Intraarticular fracture)
-ORIF
Metacarpal neck fracture
 Nonoperative
 reduction and short arm AP slab
 acceptable degrees of apex dorsal angulation
 immobilize safe position include PIP joint
 Short arm AP slab for 3 weeks
 reduce using Jahss technique
 90 degrees MCP flexion, dorsal pressure through proximal phalanx while stabilizing
metacarpal shaft
 Operative
 reduction and fixation
 indications
 unacceptable angulation (see above table)
 open fractures
 any malrotation
 intraarticular fractures
 Cosmetic
 Fail reduction
Metacarpal shaft fracture
 Nonoperative
 immobilization
 indications
 nondisplaced metacarpal neck fractures
 acceptable angulation (see above table)
 no malrotation
 shortening (aesthetic problem only)
 immobilize MCP joints in 70-90 degrees of flexion
 Short arm AP slab in safe position for 3 weeks
 Operative
 ORIF
 indications
 open fractures
 unacceptable angulation
 any malrotation
 multiple fractures
 Cosmetic
 Fail reduction
Metacarpal base fracture
 Mostly nondisplaced
 Short arm AP slab in safe position and check rotation
 follow up 3 week
