Inclusion and exclusion criteria were predetermined. Two reviewers independently identified appropriate articles for review based on the criteria. Primary outcome measures were range of motion (ROM) (Styf et al., Rev Chir Orthop Reparatrice Appar Mot 74(Suppl 2):268\u2013270, 2008) and complications. Secondary outcomes included loss of reduction, grip strength, Disabilities of arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) scores, radiographic measures and pain scores.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"results\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eight studies were eligible for review. Studies were of level II\u2013IV evidence, and captured a total of 435 patients. The ROM post-operatively was found to be greater in the IM group in half of the studies. IM fixation trended toward higher complication rates in one study, but no differences were statistically significant. IM fixation fared similarly or superiorly to its competitor in each of the secondary outcomes. A formal meta-regression analysis was not possible given the heterogeneity of studies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>IM fixation may have a role in the treatment of certain metacarpal fractures.
