Feb 3rd, 2021 - Common forms of fixation of metacarpal fractures have historically included percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation, plates and screws, and, more recently, intramedullary screw fixation. Retrograde intramedullary screws (RISs) are a novel modality fi...

Jan 12th, 2021 - Metacarpal fractures are common. Many metacarpal fractures without malrotation, particularly fifth metacarpal neck fractures, can be managed nonsurgically. However, intraarticular and extraarticular metacarpal fractures of the thumb are subject to...

Dec 22nd, 2020 - It is recommended to have 6 bicortical screws for plate fixation of long bone fractures; however, many metacarpal fractures do not allow 6 screws due to size limitations and proximity of crucial anatomical structures. The purpose of this biomechan...

Dec 8th, 2020 - Implants made from bioabsorbable unsintered hydroxyapatite and poly-L-lactate composites (u-HA/PLLA) are widely used in the oral, maxillofacial, and orthopedic fields. This study assess the long-term (> 5 years) outcomes of patients with metacarpa...

Nov 20th, 2020 - The differences in the clinical and functional outcomes of closed reduction and percutaneous pin fixation and open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF) using plate and screws have been systematically synthesized by one meta-analysis. With newer...
