Bennett's fracture is the retention of bone to which beak ligament attached, and dorsoradial proximal subluxation base metacarpal detached from this part. Key features are intra-articular fracture, oblique pattern, volar-dorsal fragment. The medial small piece remains in place maintains its relationship with second finger via volar ligament.

INTRODUCTION Simple bone cyst or unicameral bone cyst (UBC) are benign cystic lesions commonly found in femur and humerus. However hand is a very rare site of occurrence. Treatment described for UBC of hand commonly involves curettage and bone grafting. CASE REPORT A 7 year old right hand dominant girl presented to us with chief complaints of pain and swelling in right 4th metacarpal since 2 ...

Case RepoRt: The patient is an ambidextrous 5-yearold with a 6-month history of swelling of the right hand dorsum centered over the 3rd metacarpal. Imaging studies showed a lytic lesion occupying 90% of the 3rd metacarpal with a mass-effect on the 2nd and 4th metacarpals. At surgery, the bone cortex was egg-shell thin. As much cortex as possible was preserved. The aneurysmal bone cyst was excis...

This paper presents the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint magnetic resonance images of the EULAR-OMERACT rheumatoid arthritis MRI reference image atlas. The illustrations include synovitis in the MCP joints (OMERACT RA magnetic resonance imaging scoring system (RAMRIS), grades 0-3), bone oedema in the metacarpal head and the phalangeal base (grades 0-3), and bone erosion in the metacarpal head an...

In 32 patients with closed old metacarpal bone neck fractures the treatment by ligamentotaxis type was performed using external rod fixation device. Fracture consolidation achieved in all cases. Preoperatively displacement angle ranged from 50 to 20 (mean 35), prior device disassembling varied 25 5 5). During increased one patient only.

as he was being conveyed by trolley from Toondla, where the accident happened, to Agra, a distance of about 15 miles.

Ttie metacarpal bone of the index finger was, as it were, dissected out from the palm of the hand, completely denuded of flesh, and separated from the carpal...

OBJECTIVE To compare changes in regional bone mineral density (BMD) of the metacarpal joints measured by dual x ray absorptiometry (DXA) and digital x ray radiogrammetry (DXR) in relation to disease activity and radiographic outcome in a two year follow up study of patients with early RA and unclassified polyarthritis. PATIENTS AND METHODS 72 patients with symmetrically swollen and tender sec...

A 45-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with left wrist pain following a fall. Physical exam was remarkable for soft tissue swelling of the palmar and dorsal hand, point tenderness at the base of the second metacarpal, and limited active range of motion. Three-view wrist radiographs showed significant soft tissue swelling without evidence of fracture or dislocation. Computed t...
