Abstract
Intramedullary metacarpal screw fixation has shown promising results and quick functional recovery with the proper postoperative rehabilitation. The rehabilitative process after this procedure has not been compared across literature. A retrospective review of literature was used to recommend a therapy timeline, activity and recommendations to allow for proper postoperative rehabilitation for optimal results. An illustrative case report is presented to explain technique and outcomes.
