Metacarpal Fractures and Dislocations
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1992Metacarpal fractures are common injuries. Most can be treated successfully by closed reduction and cast or splint immobilization. Unstable fractures, however, require internal fixation. Many such techniques are discussed. Metacarpal dislocations are more difficult to diagnose and treat than are metacarpal fractures.

Metacarpal and Phalangeal Fractures
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1993Metacarpal and phalangeal fractures are common presenting injuries in many emergency departments. The emergency physician should become skilled at properly evaluating and initiating appropriate management and follow-up for these injuries when they occur. Failure to properly do so may result in permanent disability.

Fractures of the fifth metacarpal
Acta Radiologica, 2009Background: The literature is limited concerning the epidemiological issues of fracture in the fifth metacarpal bone. Purpose: To explore the incidence and types of this fracture, and how the fracture is related to age, gender, trauma mechanism, and at what day of the week the causing trauma occurred.

Background. The purpose of our study was to evaluate bone union in metacarpal fractures, in terms of the pathomorphic nature of the damage and the use of surgical treatment. Severe multi-tissue damage and fracture with Bennett's dislocation were excluded. Material and methods.

Management of metacarpal fractures
Journal of Hand Therapy, 2003Fractures of the hand are the most common fractures of the human skeleton. Metacarpal fractures account for 30% to 50% of all of hand fractures. The mechanisms of these injuries vary from axial loading forces to direct blows to the dorsal hand. Resulting deformities include malrotation, angulation, and shortening.

Metacarpal epiphyseal fractures
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1987Five cases of injuries to the distal metacarpal physis and epiphysis are reviewed. Axially applied loads may result in growth disturbances. The extent of the physeal injury is not always evident on the initial radiographs. Decreased longitudinal growth of the metacarpal occurs in those injuries in which the physis has been damaged.

Avulsion Fracture of the Index Metacarpal
Journal of Hand Surgery, 1987A case is reported of the avulsion of the insertion of Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus, an injury that has been reported only once before. The anatomy of the region and mechanism of injury are discussed, as is the importance of open reduction with internal fixation.

Metacarpal fractures and the clamp-on plate
The Journal of Hand Surgery: Journal of the British Society for Surgery of the Hand, 1990Since internal fixation of metacarpal fractures has a high complication rate, most fractures should be managed conservatively, with the emphasis on early mobilisation. However, some fractures do need internal stabilisation. We propose the use of the clamp-on plate, which is simple to use, has a very low complication rate and allows immediate ...

Annales de chirurgie de la main : organe officiel des societes de chirurgie de la main, 1987
We have treated 1,080 fractured metacarpals between January 1972 and December 1982. Supported by ten years of experience and this homogenous series, we explain our choices of treatment. With early mobilization of hand and fingers a constant preoccupation to prevent joint stiffening, two main points stand out: active immediate mobilization, considered ...
