Comparison of Dorsal Plate Fixation Versus Intramedullary Headless Screw Fixation of Unstable Metacarpal Shaft Fractures: A Biomechanical Study

Background: Recently, intramedullary headless screw (IMHS) has shown promise as an alternative to dorsal plate fixation of metacarpal fractures. The purpose of this study was to assess the biomechanical performance of IMHS versus plating. We hypothesized that IMHS fixation provides inferior stabilit...
