“…[1] Fractures of the metacarpal shaft occur as a result of axial loading, torsion, or direct falls and are classified as transverse, oblique, or comminuted. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] The fractures of all metacarpals from the fixation could be necessary, whereas comminuted fractures with or without segmental bone loss demand restoring and maintaining metacarpal length. [2][3][4]6,11,13,15,20,22,23] Surgical methods include percutaneous or open Kirschner wire fixation, intramedullary fixation, open or percutaneous interfragmentary screw fixation, and external fixation.…”

BACKGROUND: Metacarpal fractures are among the most common fractures of the hand. They may lead to loss of function if treated improperly. These injuries can be treated conservatively. However, if significant shortening, rotational deformity and angulation occur, surgical treatment is required. In this article, results of metacarpal fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation with mini plates were presented.

“…Fractures of the fourth metacarpal shaft deserve particular attention as it is particularly narrow, which should be considered when placing hardware [26]. Specifically, intramedullary screws or multiple pins may not pass through the narrow isthmus, and bicortical screws may risk iatrogenic weakening or fragmentation of the bone.…”

Purpose of review To describe current evaluation and treatment of metacarpal fractures in athletes Recent findings Biomechanical and clinical studies involving lower-profile, locking, shorter length, and double-row or separate-dual plate configurations, as well as intramedullary screw fixation, have demonstrated the potential benefits of internal fixation with promising results. Summary Treatment should be customized to the specific athlete and injury, and is often successful without surgery, or with percutaneous pin fixation. Internal fixation of metacarpal fractures has improved with new hardware and new techniques, and may expedite return to play, although further clinical studies are needed.
