Background : Fractures of the neck of the fifth metacarpal is known as Boxer’s fractures; they are among the most common fractures of the hand.
Despite the variety of conservative and surgical options available, no one technique has been established as the reference.
Objective : To evaluate functional outcomes of isolated fifth metacarpal fractures treated by antegrade intramedullary K-wiring.
Design : A Retrospective Review.
Setting : Bahrain Defence Force Hospital, Kingdom of Bahrain.
Method : A retrospective review of patients who underwent surgical fixation of fractures of the neck of the fifth metacarpal using intramedullary K-wires inserted in an antegrade fashion treated from July 2007 to February 2013.
Result : Twelve patients met inclusion criteria.
Mean follow-up was 34.5 months, a range of 23 to 56 months.
The patients had a mean of 97.8% range of motion in the injured hand compared to the non-injured.
They had a mean of 90.2% strength on the injured hand compared to the non-injured.
Complex regional pain syndrome was documented in one patient.
Radiographically, all patients showed full union on follow-up.
Subjectively, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores had a mean of 1.08.
Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) scores had a mean of 6.9 and Steele scores had a mean of 378.5.
Conclusion : Surgical fixation of Boxer’s fractures using intramedullary K-wires inserted in an antegrade fashion is an effective method of fixation.
