The stacking concept: cannulated screws for extra-articular metacarpal base fracture of the thumb

An alternative technique to treat extra-articular fractures of the base of the first metacarpal with intramedullary canulated headless screws is presented. The principle is creating an internal fixator within the medullary canal by introducing multiple retrograde screws until they have jammed.
