Which of the following is used to stabilize a fractured finger?

Suture
K-Wires
Staples
Plate and Screws

The correct answer is: K-Wires

K-Wires are commonly used to stabilize a fractured finger. K-Wires are wire components that are driven into the bone above and below the fracture site to stabilize and align the fractured bone fragments. This fixation method allows for proper healing and alignment of the fractured finger. Sutures, staples, and plates with screws are typically not used for stabilizing fractured fingers as they are more suitable for soft tissue closure or fixation of larger bones or fractures.
