Abstract
We report a new and simple modification for antegrade insertion of intramedullary K-wires used in the treatment of displaced fifth metacarpal fractures. This method of fixation was performed on six patients all of whom had excellent results when reviewed clinically and radiologically with a mean follow-up of 9 months.
