AI-powered metacarpal fracture review for boxer fractures, shaft fractures, base injuries, angulation, rotation clues, and joint extension on hand X-ray or CT.
Metacarpal fractures affect the long bones of the hand between the wrist and knuckles. The fifth metacarpal neck, often called a boxer fracture, is common, but fractures can occur at the base, shaft, neck, or head of any metacarpal. X-rays help determine alignment, angulation, shortening, and whether the joint surface is involved. CT can add detail for complex base fractures or carpometacarpal dislocations.
No. Treatment depends on angulation, rotation, shortening, open injury risk, hand dominance, occupation, and which metacarpal is fractured. The little-finger metacarpal tolerates more angulation than the index or middle metacarpal, but rotation is poorly tolerated and usually needs careful clinical assessment.
CT is most useful when the fracture involves a joint surface, the metacarpal base, or a suspected carpometacarpal fracture-dislocation. It can show small fragments and joint step-off more clearly than plain X-ray, which may help surgical planning.
