Small Finger Metacarpal Shaft Wedged between Ring and Small Metacarpal Bases: a Report of 2 Cases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present two patients with a displaced fracture of the small finger metacarpal base, where the shaft of the small finger metacarpal was wedged between the bases of the ring and small finger metacarpals. The striking appearance on radiographs led to initial recommendations for surgery, but both patients preferred non-operative treatment and did well in the short term without surgery.

متن کاملMeasurement of the radiographic anatomy of the small and ring metacarpals using computerized tomographic scans.
BACKGROUND To date, only plain radiographic definitions of normal anatomical parameters have been described. Our study aims to describe normal anatomic measurements of small and ring metacarpals using a novel digital reconstruction technique based on raw CT image data. We hypothesize that current plain radiographic data incorrectly describes normal metacarpal anatomy in the lateral plane. MET...
متن کاملOutcome of Thumb Reconstruction Using the First Dorsal Metacarpal Artery Island Flap
BACKGROUND Reconstruction of complex soft tissue defects of the thumb, with exposure of tendons, joints or bones, has always been a difficult task. We evaluated the functional and esthetic outcomes of 1st dorsal metacarpal artery island flap in reconstruction of post-traumatic soft tissue defects of the thumb. METHODS Between January 2012 and June 2014, fifteen patients with co...
متن کاملPredicted effects of metacarpal shortening on interosseous muscle function.
PURPOSE Metacarpal fractures are common in hand surgery. Metacarpal shortening ranging from 2 mm to as much as 10 mm has been deemed acceptable in the literature. We examined the effect of metacarpal shortening on interosseous muscle architecture and predicted force production capacity based on the standard muscle length-tension curve (commonly known as the Blix curve). METHODS The dorsal int...
متن کاملIdentification of a novel familial FGF16 mutation in two cases of MF4
Background Metacarpal 4-5 fusion (MF4) is a rare congenital hand malformation characterised primarily by ulnar deviation of the fifth finger, clinodactyly, shortening of the fifth metacarpal and reduced mobility of the fifth finger. A small number of familial cases have been described in the literature, consistent with X-linked recessive inheritance. In May 2013 causative mutations in the FGF16...
