Intramedullary Screw Fixation Versus Closed Reduction and Percutaneous Pinning With Cast Immobilization

Broken bones in the hand are common injuries that can make it hard to move fingers, grip objects, and return to work. When these breaks happen in the long bones of the hand (called metacarpals and phalanges), surgery is often needed to hold the bones in the right place while they heal. There are a few different ways surgeons can fix these broken bones. Two common methods are: CRPP (Closed Reduction and Percutaneous Pinning): The bones are moved back into place without opening the skin, and thin metal pins are used to hold them. IMSF (Intramedullary Screw Fixation): A small screw is placed inside the bone to hold it in position. Another approach sometimes used for larger bones in the hand is ORIF (Open Reduction and Internal Fixation), where the bone is exposed through a small incision and held with plates or screws. This study will compare how well these methods work. Investigators want to find out if using an intramedullary screw (IMSF) helps patients heal faster and move their hands more easily compared to the other common methods (CRPP and ORIF). Investigators will look at how quickly patients regain movement, how soon they can return to work, how satisfied they are with their recovery, and whether there are any problems or complications from surgery. To do this, investigators will run a randomized controlled trial-this means patients will be stratified based on fracture location (metacarpals or phalanges) and randomly assigned to a treatment arm. For patients with metacarpal fractures, investigators will compare IMSF vs CRPP vs ORIF using a dorsal plate. For patients with proximal or middle phalangeal fractures investigators will compare IMSF to CRPP. Investigators will measure their recovery using both clinical tests and patient surveys over time. The results of this research will help surgeons choose the best and safest way to treat hand fractures so patients can heal faster and get back to their daily lives sooner

Evaluation of Diaphragmatic Function After Interscalene Block With Liposomal Bupivacaine

The study aims to evaluation the effects of Liposomal Bupivacaine on diaphragmatic function in patients undergoing upper limb surgery who receive Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block. A total of 120 eligible patients will be enrolled and divided into two groups: Group A will receive 20ml of 0.5% Hydrochloride Bupivacaine , while Group B will receive 10ml of 0.5% Hydrochloride Bupivacaine plus 10ml of Liposomal Bupivacaine. Assessments of diaphragmatic function, pulmonary function, and pain intensity will be performed before the block and at different time points after the block, with follow-up for adverse events. The study is scheduled to run from September 2025 to September 2026, with strict adherence to privacy protection and ethical guidelines.

Elastic Nail Versus Screw for Intramedullary Fixation of Displaced Fractures of the Fifth Metacarpal Neck

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two different intramedullary fixation technique in patient diagnosed with deplased fifth metacarpal neck fracture. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can percutaneous screw application be a more stable fixation method than intramedullary elastic nail application? * Can screw application create a significant difference in the recovery of grip strength in the early period compared to elastic nail application? Patients will be followed up at the 1st week, 1st month and 3rd month postoperatively. Functionality will be evaluated with Quick DASH score at the 3rd month. At the 1st and 3rd month controls, grip strength will be evaluated. At the same time, metacarpal shortening and angulations will be measured on x-ray. Researchers will compare percutaneous screw and elastic nail group to see grip strength, healing time and radiologic parameter difference.
