Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* Can percutaneous screw application be a more stable fixation method than intramedullary elastic nail application?
* Can screw application create a significant difference in the recovery of grip strength in the early period compared to elastic nail application? Patients will be followed up at the 1st week, 1st month and 3rd month postoperatively. Functionality will be evaluated with Quick DASH score at the 3rd month. At the 1st and 3rd month controls, grip strength will be evaluated. At the same time, metacarpal shortening and angulations will be measured on x-ray. Researchers will compare percutaneous screw and elastic nail group to see grip strength, healing time and radiologic parameter difference.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Radiological examinations (dorsal angulation and metacarpal shortening will be measured) will be performed in the first week, first and third months postoperatively. Hand grip strength will be measured with Cambry dynamometer at the first and third month. At the 3rd month, upper extremity functionality will be evaluated with Quick DASH score and a comparison will be made between the two groups.
Randomisation will be performed with an internet-based application. Clinical ethics committee approval was obtained before the study started.
