Abstract
We describe a technique for thumb metacarpophalangeal joint arthrodesis by using a Herbert screw. This method of fixation helps in avoiding some of the potential problems associated with wire fixation, tension-band arthrodesis, or plate fixation. Therefore, it eliminates the risk of pin track infection, pin breakage, and painful protrusion under the skin requiring metalwork removal.
