Surgical treatment, hardware removal, and the wide-awake approach for metacarpal fractures.
Clinics in Plastic Surgery 2014 July

Only large, oblique fractures must be fixed with screws or a plate. Indications for plating metacarpal fractures are limited in multiple unstable shaft or oblique fractures. After internal fixation, the patient actively moves the digits over a limited range under protection.
