Résumé
Metatarsal fractures are the most common type of foot fracture. When surgical treatment is needed, pinning is typically used, either percutaneous or open. However, this fixation method has been criticized by some authors who lament residual malunion and prefer to use plate and/or screws. The primary objective of our study was to compare the outcomes of K-wire versus plate and/or screw fixation for the surgical treatment of two or more metatarsal fractures. The secondary objective was to evaluate the factors that contribute to poor outcomes and complications. We hypothesized that plate and/or screw fixation will produce better functional outcomes than K-wire fixation.
