When comparing closed reduction and pinning to ligament reconstruction, the reconstruction group had slightly better abduction and pinch strength. The volar oblique ligament usually tears off the first metacarpal in a subperiosteal fashion. In this young patient, motion-sparing procedures are preferred.
