Comments on “Complications of Low-Profile Plate Fixation of Phalanx Fractures”
Original language description
We read the article by Guerrero et al in the 2021 issue of HAND that studied whether the use of low-profile plates (LPP) decreased complications in plate fixation of phalanx fractures. The use of LPP consistently achieved fracture union but secondary stiffness appeared in 25% of cases. In recent years, soft tissue handling appears to play a more important role in the outcome than selection of an optimal implant. We thus suggest that the key factor is not solely the optimal implant, but the key issue is represented by the presence or absence of vascularized gliding tissue that works as a barrier preventing tendon adhesions. This can be achieved by utilization of a local adipofascial flap as have been reported in several studies.
