| Core Tip |
Although intramedullary headless screw fixation is a well-documented management option for metacarpal and phalanx fractures, its broad adoption in our area is limited. We conducted this prospective study to evaluate the efficiency and outcomes of intramedullary headless screw fixation for metacarpal and proximal phalanx fractures, using either retrograde or antegrade fixation techniques. The clinical, radiological, and complication outcomes we observed after managing 67 extraarticular fractures in 53 patients were promising and comparable to those reported in the literature, which helped change our institutional management protocol for such fractures. |
