The total sample size of the included studies consisted of 345 patients, with 242 females (70%) and 103 males (30%). The implants were most commonly utilized in the humerus (41%), radius (12%), and metacarpal (12%). The most common complications were related to broken implants (5%) and dislocation (1%).
