Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the method for treatment of BF (Bennett fractures). Methodology: We included 60 patients with BF (Bennett’s Fracture). Mean age of subjects was 33 years. We treated all the patients surgically with ORIF (Open Reduction and Internal Fixation); 20 cases with K wires, 9 patients with the use of mini T plate of titanium, and 31 patients with the use of osteosynthetic screws. Result: There was healing and full functional recovery of Bennett fractures between 4 to 8 weeks. We found no evidences of surgical complications, instable movement of trapeziometacarpal joint and degenerative alterations after surgical intervention. Removal of the K wires from 20 patients was carried out between 5 to 7 weeks, whereas there was no removal of other osteosynthetic materials. Conclusion: Findings of this study confirmed that there is no ideal method for treatment of all the patients having Bennett fractures. However, according to the Bennett fractures, it is much vital to select the osteosynthetic material. It is important to provide the surgical treatment in early possible time even if the dislocation of the fracture is 1mm.
