Bent Intramedullary Metacarpal Implants

This series highlights a notable complication (bent implant) associated with intramedullary fixation of metacarpal fractures and includes our strategy for implant removal. Furthermore, we now consider patients with a history of closed-fist striking as a mechanism of injury as a contraindication to intramedullary metacarpal fixation due to this complication.

Abstract

This series highlights a notable complication (bent implant) associated with intramedullary fixation of metacarpal fractures and includes our strategy for implant removal. Furthermore, we now consider patients with a history of closed-fist striking as a mechanism of injury as a contraindication to intramedullary metacarpal fixation due to this complication.
