A Comparative Study of Tensile Strength of Three Operative Fixation Techniques for Metacarpal Shaft Fractures in Adults: A Cadaver Study

BACKGROUND: We sought to estimate the ultimate tensile strength after metacarpal shaft fracture repair in adults using three operative fixation methods: plate fixation, Kirschner wire (K-wire) fixation, and intramedullary headless compression screw fixation. We also compared the advantages and disad...
