| Abstract | Certain metacarpal fracture patterns require operative fixation to restore anatomy and optimize results. Compared with dorsal plating, the width of the minicondylar blade plate buttresses the deforming volar pull of the intrinsics and provides a stronger construct. The implant provides firm fixation in the juxta-articular fragment with minimal space requirements. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the outcomes following the use of a minicondylar blade plate for the treatment of distal metacarpal fractures. Twenty-two distal metacarpal fractures in 20 patients treated with a minicondylar blade plate were retrospectively reviewed. Outcome measures collected included postoperative grip strength, range of motion, return to work, and radiographic evidence of osseous union. Average range of motion of the metacarpophalangeal joint was 62° postoperatively. Eighty-two percent (18/22) of fractures were able to flex their digits to their distal palmar crease. Seventy-one percent (12/17) of patients had at least 75% return to grip strength compared with the contralateral side. Seventeen patients returned to full activity at a mean of 2.5 months (range, 1-3 months) postoperatively; 1 patient was on disability, and data were not available for the final 2 patients. No major complications occurred. The minicondylar blade plate is a safe and effective technique for stabilizing unstable periarticular metacarpal fractures. Stable fixation allows for early range of motion, rapid return to strength, and a relatively quick return to full work duty. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
