Summary

The aim of this prospective randomized controlled clinical trial study is to compare clinical, functional and radiological results of transverse pinning and antegrade intramedullary pinning for neck and shaft metatarsal fractures

Conditions

  • Transverse Pinning for Metatarsal Fractures
  • Versus Antegrade Intramedullary Pinning for Metatarsal Fractures

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Transverse Pinning for neck and shaft Metatarsal Fractures

⦁ Transverse Pinning Under spinal anaesthesia, the patient will be placed in the supine position. Under the guidance of an image intensifier, gentle longitudinal traction will be applied and percutaneous manipulation will be done using k wires and digital pressure.

PROCEDURE

Antegrade Intramedullary Pinning for neck and shaft Metatarsal Fractures

Antegrade Intramedullary Pinning Under spinal anesthesia, the patient will be placed in the supine position. Under guidance of an image intensifier, a small incision will be made over the dorsal aspect of the foot at the proximal end of the fractured metatarsal. Soft tissue will be dissected, taking care not to injure neurovascular structures and extensor tendons. An entry hole will be then made with a 2.0-mm drill bit. A 1.6-mm K-wire will be prepared with distal end bent through 5 and the prepared K-wire will be held by T-handle. The K-wire will be inserted through the entry hole and will be advanced to the medullary canal
