- Perforation of the cortex by wire or drill
- Lesion of the branches of the dorsal branch of the ulnar nerve
- Incomplete reduction of the fracture. Here, as a last resort, a semi-open reduction of the metacarpal head can be attempted by introducing a mini-Hohmann along the bone through a mini-incision ulnar to the head. The tip of the Hohmann can then be used as a lever to directly elevate the displaced head.
