Background: Metacarpal fractures are common injuries that plastic surgeons should be able
to evaluate and treat. The goal of this review is to highlight current evidence for managing …

Cadaveric studies suggest that the acceptable deformity in fifth metacarpal neck fractures is
maximally 30° palmar angulation. This systematic review verifies the validity of these …

Purpose This study aimed to determine the biomechanical stability of headless compression
screws in the fixation of metacarpal neck fractures and to compare them with another …

Background: Several techniques have been described for treating metacarpal and
phalangeal fractures. We sought to compare the 3 techniques most frequently used for extra …

Background Metacarpal shaft fracture is a common fracture in hand trauma injuries. Surgical
intervention is indicated when fractures are unstable or involve considerable displacement …

Aims The aim of this study was to investigate whether clinical and radiological outcomes
after intramedullary nailing of displaced fractures of the fifth metacarpal neck using a single …

Purpose To determine the relative importance of intramedullary wire (IMW) diameter and
IMW number in conferring stability to a metacarpal fracture fixation construct. Our research …

Background The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of mini-open
antegrade intramedullary nailing (AIN) and open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) using …

Background: There is little information regarding anatomic structures at risk during closed
percutaneous treatment of fifth metacarpal neck fractures. This study evaluates a variety of …

Background The aim of this study was to investigate clinical outcomes of fifth metacarpal
neck fractures using antegrade single elastic nail and to explore ideal puncture point to …
