[Translated article] Prospective study about orthopaedic treatment of fifth metacarpal neck fractures
2022, Revista Espanola de Cirugia Ortopedica y TraumatologiaCitation Excerpt :In general, fifth metacarpal fractures with palmar angulation less than 40° do not have an associated rotational deformity and are treated conservatively without requiring fracture manipulation.4,5 Several authors have reported that functional results can be achieved with little or no correction of these fractures in the sagittal plane.6–8 However, marked angulation and the resulting poor healing may result in dorsal protrusion in addition to loss of prominence of the metacarpal head when making a fist.9
