“…Although this method was first described for the treatment of Bennett's fractures, it can be applied to any phalangeal fracture. In addition, it can be combined with open reduction and internal fixation [10,11]. Transfixing the joint allows the dislocation to be reduced and held even where the fractures fragments are too small to fix.…”

SUMMARYFractures of the phalangeal joints of the hand present a challenging problem because of the small size of the fracture fragments, limiting internal fixation, and their articular nature necessitating early mobilisation to ensure good results. We present a case of a patient presenting with an open displaced intraarticular fracture of the metacarpophalangeal joint that was managed with limited internal fixation with a Kirschner wire along with the Dynamic External Finger Fixation System (S-Quattro). The fracture united and the patient returned to his previous occupation with no limitations in his activities of daily living. This is the first instance of S-Quattro being described for the management of an open fracture with the additional use of limited internal fixation. The additional use of limited internal fixation ensured adequate fracture reduction and stabilisation. The S-Quattro application does not require significant soft tissue dissection, making it particularly suited to open fractures.

“…Long-term functional recovery was excellent, following tenolysis of the FPL tendon (Figures 1b, 1c) As in this case, internal fixation techniques allow early mobilization while maintaining bony stability. Fixation can be accomplished with crossed K-wires [18], a single intramedullary K-wire [19], interosseus wiring [20], intramedullary screws [21] or bone plates and external fixation devices. The type of fixation used is based on considerations of fragment size and stability, early mobilization, patient reliability, and surgeon's preference.…”

Where possible, the best results may be achieved by reattaching the amputated original tissues (microsurgical replantation). In noninfected, uncontaminated traumatic injuries resulting in composite soft tissue defects, Early free flap reconstruction of the upper extremities has important advantages over delayed (72 h-3 months) or late wound closure (3 months-2 years). In recent years, thin, pliable, and versatile fasciocutaneous flaps such as the anterolateral thigh (ALT) and lateral arm (LA) free flaps have been increasingly used with great success to reconstruct the upper extremity. The use of "spare parts" and functional reconstructions using osteomyocutaneous free flaps or toe to thumb transfers complete the armamentarium of the upper limb reconstructive microsurgeon.

“…and achieving maximum bone contact. In finger replantations, the combination of K-wires with intraosseous wiring has proved its value and is now the method of choice (11). In the diaphyseal area of metacarpal bones, radius, ulna and humerus, tension band or dynamic compression plates are preferred.…”

Summary: Background: In the early 1970s, replantation surgery became an important addition to the armamentarium of reconstructive surgery. In view of the heavy institutional commitment, it became quickly obvious that this type of advanced surgery cannot be performed in all places as occasional surgery. Methods: This article provides a review of the evolution of upper extremity replantation over the past 20 years with regard to indications, basic surgical techniques, and final results. Results: Thirty-eight major upper extremity replantations have recently been analysed and compared with 182 replantations performed 20 years ago, using the same data and the same format in both series. No significant differences could be found between these two groups. Analysing this 20-year period, one finds that few changes took place. The only major change that could be ascertained was a significant decrease in the number of replantations in Switzerland due to improved safety measures for working with dangerous machines. Most probably this is true in general for all highly industrialized countries. Conclusions: Replantation of the upper extremity is a wellestablished method in the treatment of amputation injuries that has a substantial socioeconomic impact. These replantation procedures are very demanding: special skills and experience of the surgical team is the basis for excellent long-term functional results. (Eur.
