Comparing biomechanical strength of unicortical locking plate versus bicortical compression plate for transverse midshaft metacarpal fracture
Purpose: Metacarpal bone fractures constitute 10% of all fractures. Unstable metacarpal fractures require surgical intervention, which poses danger to flexor tendon either due to bicortical drilling or construct of the implant. Unicortical locking plate fixation may be the solution to preventing fle...
