Introduction Metacarpal shaft fractures (MSF) are common traumatic hand injuries that usually affect young people of working age. They place a significant burden on healthcare resources and society, however there is a lack of evidence to guide thei...

A Systematic Review of Treatment Interventions for Metacarpal Shaft Fractures in Adults (2020)
Journal Article
Taha, R. H. M., Grindlay, D., Deshmukh, S., Montgomery, A., Davis, T. R. C., & Karanatana, A. (2022). A Systematic Review of Treatment Interventions for Metacarpal Shaft Fractures in Adults. Hand, 17(5), 869-878. https://doi.org/10.1177/1558944720974363

Metacarpal shaft fractures are common hand injuries that predominantly affect younger patients. There is wide variability in their treatment with no consensus on best practice. We performed a systematic review to assess the breadth and quality of ava... Read More about A Systematic Review of Treatment Interventions for Metacarpal Shaft Fractures in Adults.

© 2017 The Author(s). Background: Dupuytren's contractures are fibrous cords under the skin of the palm of the hand. The contractures are painless but cause one or more fingers to curl into the palm, resulting in loss of function. Standard treatment...
