Arthroscopic-Assisted Treatment of Bennett Fractures: A Potentially Advantageous Operative Procedure?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Articular fractures of the base of the first metacarpal (Bennett fractures) have been studied for years to determine the best method of reduction and fixation. This study aims to show the application of the percutaneous reduction and internal fixation technique with cannulated screws and arthroscopic assistance in articular fractures of the base of the first metacarpal.

Methods

Descriptive cohort study in a series of 30 patients, the first cohort in our country and the largest series published so far, in which 8 patients presented with type 2A fracture and 19 patients with type 2B of the Torres-Becerra classification underwent the mentioned technique under direct vision and control of the articular reduction by arthroscopy evaluating the intraoperative characteris
