Study Summary
There is a lack of strong evidence guiding the treatment of non-thumb isolated closed metacarpal shaft fractures towards operative fixation versus conservative management. Surgical approach is largely decided by surgeon preference/skill, qualities of fracture, and extent of injury. Previous studies have shown that many metacarpal fractures can be treated non-operatively, with outcomes being as good as or better than those treated with surgery. Surgery using plates can often cause stiffness, contractures, and in rare causes nonunion infection or tendon rupture. This study will seek to build upon previous evidence to help guide future surgeons as they decide how to approach a closed non-thumb metacarpal fractures. Patients will be identified in clinic after x-rays are positive for a non-thumb metacarpal fracture. If they consent to participate in the study, they will be put into either the non-operative or surgical group. This decision will be done through randomization.The investigators anticipate that 100 subjects will be enrolled. Patient reported outcomes, including the PROMIS forms, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) surveys and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will be recorded. Range of motion will be assessed at all time points along with grip strength. X-rays will be evaluated for metacarpal shortening, rotation or non-union. In addition, time for clinical and radiologic union will be documented.
