Because of small direct contact to the fracture fragments reduction of metatarsal fractures can be achieved only indirectly by applying traction to the toes. In this article a method for simple direct manipulation of the distal main fragment of metatarsal fractures is described: A K-wire is drilled in dorsi plantar direction across the head of the fractured metatarsal and mounted on a traction bow. In this manner the distal fracture fragment can be moved in all directions and placed exactly onto the proximal fragment. All 8 patients with multiple metatarsal fractures could be treated by closed reduction and percutaneous pinning. The described method allows simple and precise reduction of metatarsal fractures, reduced x-ray exposure of the surgeon's hand by short operation times, and manipulation for fracture reduction outside the x-ray beam.
