Proposal of a New Dynamic Distraction Device to Treat Complex Periarticular Fractures of the Metacarpophalangeal Joint of Long Finger

Abstract

The frame could be an alternative option to treat periarticular fractures of the MCPJ. The DDD implant has several advantages: It is time efficient because assembly and application take only few minutes. Furthermore, it is very versatile; indeed, it can be used in all metacarpal and phalanx bones, even in the central rays.
