Product Description
Equipped with ultra-compact clamps that accommodate fine-gauge percutaneous pins, allowing for stable fixation in the very small cortical areas found in human digits and the palm.
The system is designed with a high strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring the device does not encumber hand movement or apply unnecessary leverage on the delicate small bones of the hand.
Available with high-strength carbon fiber or light-alloy rods that permit unobstructed X-ray visualization of the fracture site during healing, facilitating more accurate clinical assessments.
The fixator design allows for the independent adjustment of each clamp and rod, giving the surgeon the precision needed to restore the intricate length and rotational alignment of the hand.
Primary indication for managing open, unstable, or highly comminuted fractures of the fingers and hand where internal plating might compromise compromised soft tissue.
Used to maintain anatomical spacing and stabilization during corrective osteotomies or following tumor resection in the small bones of the hand.
Indicated for the stabilization of the digits or palm in cases of infection or non-union, providing stable anchorage away from the contaminated surgical field.

The Mini Fragment External Fixator 5100-0103 is a miniaturized scaffolding system used to hold finger and palm bones in place. It works by placing tiny pins into the bone through the skin and connecting them to a rigid outer rod. This "mini" fixator is specific to the hand, where bones are thin and accurate rotational alignment is crucial for restoring the ability to grasp and type.
This fixator is applied in hand surgery when internal screws or plates are too bulky or risky. Common scenarios include severe crushing injuries where the skin is too damaged to close over a plate, or multiple finger fractures where external stability is needed quickly to prevent the fingers from healing at an angle (malrotation).
The chief advantage is preserving soft tissue. The hand is packed with delicate nerves and tendons; by using external fixation, the surgeon avoids deep dissection, which prevents scarring and stiffness. The 5100-0103 is remarkably small, allowing patients to still use their healthy fingers while the injured one is stabilized.
Biomechanically, the fixator provides stable bridging. It takes the load off the small finger joints, allowing the bone fragments to remain in contact without shifting under muscle pull. The fixator's rigidity is tuned to the hand, strong enough to resist shifting but light enough to prevent heavy swaying motion that could disrupt healing.
Under local or general anesthesia, the surgeon inserts tiny K-wires or pins into the bone segments. The 5100-0103 clamps are then slid over the pins and tightened onto the connecting rod. The surgeon monitors the hand’s rotation and length, locking the fixator once the finger looks perfectly straight.
Care emphasizes keeping the hand elevated to reduce swelling. Unlike a heavy cast, the fixator allows for immediate occupational therapy of the non-injured fingers. Daily pin-site cleaning is mandatory to keep the tiny entrance points free from infection. Once the bone is knit, the fixator is easily removed in a short clinic visit.
The Mini Fragment External Fixator 5100-0103 is a specialized tool that respects the complex anatomy of the human hand. Its small profile, high strength, and precise adjustment capabilities provide hand surgeons with a reliable method to stabilize difficult hand fractures, ensuring patients regain their dexterity and function.
Everything is miniaturized. The rods are thinner, the clamps are designed for tiny finger pins, and the overall system is much lighter to prevent straining the delicate palm and finger bones.
Yes. A primary design goal of the 5100-0103 is to leave the uninjured parts of the hand free, allowing for early motion that prevents the tendons from scarring down.
The fixator typically uses pins between 1.5mm and 2.5mm in diameter, which is appropriate for the limited bone stock in phalanges and metacarpals.
Properly applied, the fixator restores function by ensuring the bone heals straight. Temporary stiffness is common, but therapy quickly helps patients regain full use of the digit.
No. You should keep the fixator dry. If it gets wet, it can lead to skin irritation or infection at the pin sites. Doctors usually recommend covering the fixator during bathing.
