Surgical Fixation of Fourth and Fifth Metacarpal Shaft Fractures with Flexible Intramedullary Absorbable Rods: Early Clinical Outcomes and Implications.
BACKGROUND To avoid the irritation of tendons and soft tissues as well as hardware-related problems, we designed an intramedullary fixation with bioabsorbable rods for the treatment of the metacarpal shaft fractures. METHODS Five patients with nine shaft fractures of the fourth and fifth metacarpi were treated with intramedullary absorbable implants and followed up with an average of 4.2 mont...
متن کاملSingle retrograde intramedullary wire fixation of metacarpal shaft fractures.
From 1993 to present day, 110 metacarpal fractures in 89 patients were stabilised using a method of inserting a percutaneous intramedullary wire. This allowed for early unimpeded movement in wrist and hand together with ease of wire removal in clinic. Reduction was maintained in all patients until fracture healing, and there were no malunions. One was re-done owing to inadequate reduction intra...
متن کاملMinimally invasive intramedullary rod fixation of multiple metacarpal shaft fractures.

The purpose of this study is to present the results of treatment in patients with multiple metacarpal shaft fractures, treated in a minimally invasive manner, with an intramedullary rod device.
