Functional Outcome Of Metacarpal Fractures Treated With Locking Mini-Plates And Screws At A Tertiary Care Hospital

Abstract

The outcome of hand fractures correlates closely with the severity of initial injury. The risk factors 
include injuries of the tendons and tendon sheaths, damage of the articular cartilage, comminution of 
fractures, severely crushed soft tissues, bone loss, aggressive surgical dissection, delay of treatment, and 
the implant itself. On admission, demographic data was recorded and a thorough history was taken
