Intramedullary cannulated screw fixation for hand fractures: patient-reported, clinical and radiological outcomes at 5 year follow-up

Key Points

• To evaluate the long-term clinical, radiological, and patient-reported outcomes of cannulated screw fixation for hand fractures.
• Analyzed functional outcomes and patient satisfaction at 5-year follow-up
• Reported on radiological outcomes and revision rates
• Medium-term functional outcomes were good with high patient satisfaction
• Observed a 13.4% revision rate, lower than traditional plate fixation rates
