Summary
There is some evidence to suggest superior results of surgical treatment that includes open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) or percutaneous pin fixation (not including Kapandji pinning) to stabilize fracture fragments and improve functional ability compared with conservative treatment. However, larger studies with longer follow-up are needed to verify these results.
