Metacarpal Plate for pinky!
Hi, i would like to know how much is the metacarpal plate for pinky. I am scheduled for a surgery soon for my fractured pinky bone. My doctor suggested cheaper metal and screws for the operation but also lamented that the best option to use is a metacarpal plate which is 10 times the price of the first option. Please tell me how much is it cost to buy just the metacarpal plate and would it really be necessary to choose or the first suggestion of my ortho.

Thanks
mel

Silicone inserts leave radius and ulna pressure-free and provide intermittent compression to the soft tissue of the joint, leading to increased circulation, thus aiding in the resorption of swelling and edema.
