A Biomechanical Analysis of Intramedullary Threaded Nail Fixation and Dorsal Plate and Screw Fixation for Metacarpal Base Fractures

Purpose The biomechanics of surgically treated metacarpal base fractures are poorly described. We hypothesized that intramedullary threaded nail (IMTN) fixation and dorsal plate and screw (DPS) fixation would perform similarly in multiple fracture locations approaching the metaca...
