J HAND SURG BR , 2001, vol. 26, n° 3, p. 261-263 Doc n°: 101370 Localisation : Bibliothèque Universitaire de Médecine de Nancy Descripteurs : DD74 - TRAUMATISMES - POIGNET-CARPE, EC242 - ORTHESE DE STABILISATION ET DE CONTENTION - MEMBRE SUPERIEUR Seventy-three patients with fractures of the neck of the little finger metacarpal were randomized to treatment with a moulded metacarpal brace or neighbour strapping. Sixty-five of these attended for follow-up at 3 weeks. Both treatment modalities permitted a functional range of movement, but patients treated with the metacarpal brace had significantly less pain than those treated with neighbour strapping, and this facilitated an early return to work.
