Assessing Axial Instability of Bennett Fractures and Direct Comparison of Two K-wire Fixation Constructs: A Paired Cadaveric Biomechanical Analysis
Bennett fractures without fixation demonstrate clinically significant step off greater than 2 mm indicating a benefit from operative fixation. Both percutaneous K-wire fixation methods conferred acceptable stability, with interfragmentary fixation providing increased stability at lower loads.
