Article Synopsis
- Metacarpal fractures can be treated surgically using either Kirschner wires (K-wires) or intramedullary compression screws (IMCS), and this study analyzed their effectiveness.
- Results showed that the K-wire group had a longer immobilization period and slower consolidation time compared to the IMCS group, with a notable difference in the time taken to return to activities and joint mobility.
- Both surgical methods were found to be safe and reliable, yielding excellent recovery outcomes for patients after surgery.
