Comparison of Antegrade and Retrograde Fixation With Intramedullary Screws in Metacarpal Fractures

In the antegrade headless cannulated screw fixation technique, a small incision was made on the extensor aspect of the fractured metacarpal at the level of the carpometacarpal joint.

In the fixation technique with retrograde headless cannulated screw, a small incision was made on the extensor side of the fractured metacarpal at the level of the metacarpophalangeal joint.
