| Core Tip |
Intramedullary headless screw fixation represents a minimally invasive and mechanically reliable option for selected extra-articular metacarpal and proximal phalanx fractures, enabling early unrestricted mobilization with low complication rates. Evidence from recent meta-analyses confirms lower reoperation rates and superior Disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand scores compared with Kirschner wires and plating. Success depends on meticulous patient selection, central guidewire technique, and structured rehabilitation. Long-term multicenter studies are needed to confirm durability and fully define indications. |
