One 2.0 Steinmann pin was drilled into the proximal of the second metacarpal, and the other was drilled into the proximal fragment of fracture (A). Gradually distracted the Steinmann pins with the retractor until the height of the radius approximated equal to the unaffected side (B). With the retractor opening up like a fan (B, D), it is not merely providing axial traction but also contributing to increasing the radial inclination. It should be noticed that the Steinmann pin inserted into the proximal of the second metacarpal should maintain a deviation of about 20° from the vertical angle (C)
