A metacarpal fracture is a fracture (break) of the tubular bones within the palm (metacarpals). For example deformity at the metacarpal base may indicate carpometacarpal dislocation.

Carpometacarpal (cmc) fracture dislocation to the second to fifth cmc joint are rare, but coexist with a significant reduction in hand function, if not promptly and adequately treated. A metacarpal fracture is a fracture (break) of the tubular bones within the palm (metacarpals). The cmc joint of the thumb or the first cmc joint, also known as the trapeziometacarpal (tmc) joint.
Techniques for intraosseous wiring of fractures were.
There is a comminuted, fracture of the base of the 4th metacarpal involving the articular surface. The cmc joint of the thumb or the first cmc joint, also known as the trapeziometacarpal (tmc) joint. Carpometacarpal (cmc) joints extend between the distal carpal bones and the medial four metacarpals. Coronal shear fractures of the hamate are relatively rare injuries. Divided into fractures of metacarpal head, neck, shaft. Keeping eye on its condition, external coaptation bandage technique was preferred over other methods of fracture. Carpometacarpal fracture dislocation of the hand is a relatively uncommon injury pattern. Seventeen male patients with a fourth metacarpal fracture and fifth carpometacarpal joint injury. The rigidity, modularity, and versatility necessary for managing difcult hand fractures. This injury is difficult to diagnose clinically, because of gross hand swelling which may obscure the characteristic. Techniques for intraosseous wiring of fractures were. Acceptable angulation varies by location. Treatment based on which metacarpal is involved and location of fracture. The carpometacarpal (cmc) joints are five joints in the wrist that articulate the distal row of carpal bones and the proximal bases of the five metacarpal bones. For example deformity at the metacarpal base may indicate carpometacarpal dislocation. Metacarpal base fractures and dislocations of the carpometacarpal (cmc) joint commonly result from a fall or other stress on the hand with the wrist flexed. A metacarpal fracture is a fracture (break) of the tubular bones within the palm (metacarpals).
